Summary

Taylor Electric Cooperative Inc

United States · AI-generated

isp telecom infrastructure

An electric cooperative whose netnames record the moment it started selling fibre.

What it's used for

  • A rural electric cooperative's broadband network. 5,120 addresses across four IPv4 prefixes plus 2602:fdae::/36 of IPv6, with two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

  • Two blocks carry TEC-ACCESSFIBER-03 and TEC-ACCESSFIBER-04; a third carries TAYLOR-03.
  • 38.22.96.0/21 carries COGENT-A, registered to Cogent Communications, LLC.
  • The AS first appeared in routing on 2008-01-12.
  • Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.

Interesting

  • Two netname series both reach the same number, one using the cooperative's initials and a fibre brand, the other the plain company name. The brand appeared partway through, and the earlier series kept counting alongside it.
  • A /36 of IPv6 is a large allocation for a network announcing five thousand IPv4 addresses. Rural fibre projects funded in the last two decades were expected to plan for the newer protocol from the start, and this one asked for room to do it.
  • The largest IPv4 block belongs to the upstream carrier, so the cooperative's subscriber growth outran the space it holds itself and it filled the gap with borrowed addresses.
  • An electric utility already owns poles, easements and a service territory. Adding fibre is incremental for them and impossible for anyone else, which is why so many rural networks trace back to a co-op.

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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
