Residential ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
E-Gate Communications
isp hosting telecom
Most of the estate is one halving cascade announced piece by piece, under a netname stamped with the month it was issued.
What it's used for
- An internet provider. 66,048 addresses across fourteen IPv4 prefixes, the IPv6 block
2001:4900::/32, and seventeen observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Ten prefixes are netname
EGATE-201408, carrying a year and month in the field. 67.215.192.0/20is netnameEGATEand216.235.0.0/20is netnameEGAT, the same name cut one letter shorter.- Registrants append two roles after semicolons, one for abuse and one for the operations centre.
- Two of eighteen sampled addresses answered, as
h67-215-199-255.host.egate.net. - Ten of the prefixes sit in one range and step from a /21 up through two /18s.
Interesting
- A date in a netname is the most useful thing a registry field can carry, because everything else in the object is a name that may already be wrong. This one says when the space was issued and nothing about who uses it.
- The same brand appearing at full length, abbreviated, and abbreviated one letter further is a field with a length limit meeting a name that did not fit, three times, with a different answer each time.
- A single letter in front of a hyphenated address is the shortest possible way to make a hostname legal, since a label cannot start with a digit in every parser that touches it.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
