isp telecom business

A netname built by gluing five older record names together, and a retired brand still answering.

What it's used for

  • A wireless provider's network in Canada. 1,536 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

  • 69.196.76.0/22 carries the netname BIGPIPE-BIGPIPE-2-BIGPIPE-3-BIGPIPE-4-BIGPIPE-5, registered to Shaw Communications.
  • The other two blocks carry BW-350 and are registered to the company itself.
  • Three of nine sampled addresses answered, all in the form h69-196-77-0.bigpipeinc.com.
  • Only one BGP neighbour was observed.

Interesting

  • That netname is five separate registry records merged into one, with each original name kept and joined end to end. Nobody types a name like that; it is what an administrative tool produces when consolidating consecutive blocks, and it preserves the fact that this space arrived in five pieces.
  • The reverse names still carry a service brand that the parent carrier retired, under a domain that belongs to neither the current operator nor the current owner. Reverse DNS is the last place a discontinued brand survives, because renaming thousands of generated entries buys nobody anything.
  • The leading h is a convention for addresses handed to subscribers, and the address itself follows with dots turned into dashes.
  • A single upstream means one carrier relationship holds the whole network up, which for a wireless operator reselling that carrier's space is a business arrangement as much as a routing one.

Classification and threat

Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.

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 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
