Unclassified ARIN
Summary
VI Powernet
isp telecom infrastructure
Four spellings of the operator's own name, a school system's block, and one registrant recorded only as a private customer.
What it's used for
- A Caribbean territory's broadband operator. 56,832 addresses across 45 IPv4 prefixes, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced. Every block is attributed to the Virgin Islands.
Notable
- The operator's own blocks appear as
VI-POWERNET,VIPOandVIPOWERNET, all registered toVI POWERNET, LLC. 66.185.32.0/20carriesCHOICE-COMMUNICATIONS, and104.192.184.0/22carriesVIYA-WIRELESS-DHCP1, registered toChoice Communications, LLC.67.211.240.0/20carriesETAN-VIDE, registered toVirgin Islands Department of Education.162.247.24.0/21carriesCHOICE-STT-162-24WIMAX, with the registrant given asPrivate Customer.- Three of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, all under
wireless.viyavi.com.
Interesting
Private Customeris the registry's way of recording that someone asked not to be named. The block, its size and its operator are all public; only the identity is withheld, which is a narrower kind of privacy than it sounds.- Three spellings of one company across its own records, plus a fourth brand in the DNS. Nobody reconciles netnames, so each block keeps whichever form was current when it was filed.
- A territory's education department announcing through the same AS as its commercial ISP is what happens on small islands: there is one network, and everyone is on it.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-10, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
