AS14118 FBC-ASN-001 - FortisBC Inc.
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
FortisBC
business infrastructure enterprise
A provincial gas and electricity utility reaching the internet through one link.
What it's used for
- An energy utility's network. 512 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The whole footprint is
199.60.24.0/23, carrying the netnameFORTI-26. - That netname cuts the company name after five letters and adds a number.
- The AS handle is
FBC-ASN-001, initials plus a padded counter. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- One upstream for a utility that delivers gas and power to a province is the fact to sit with. The operational networks that run pipelines and substations are separate from anything routed here, and they should be, but everything customer-facing depends on a single connection.
- The padded counter in the handle implies room for a thousand more, which is the sort of numbering chosen by somebody expecting the organisation to grow more networks than it ever will.
- A truncated netname plus a number is the least informative naming style a company can apply to its own space, and it is applied here to the only block the utility announces.
- Publishing nothing in reverse DNS is a reasonable choice for critical infrastructure, and it is consistent across the sample.

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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
