Summary
County of Orangeburg
government isp telecom
A county government that is also a consumer internet provider, handing out dynamic addresses under a regional brand.
What it's used for
- A county-run broadband network. 5,120 addresses across eight IPv4 prefixes, with three observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Every block is registered to
County of Orangeburgunder four different netnames:ORANGEBURGCOUNTY-BB,CO-62,NET-165-166-170-0-1andNET-165-166-126-0-1. - Three of eighteen sampled addresses returned names of the form
dynamic-165-166-170-128.lowcountry.com. - The AS handle spells out both the county and its state.
Interesting
- The word
dynamicin a hostname is a promise to the rest of the internet: this address changes hands, do not trust it, do not accept mail from it. A county government publishing that on its own subscriber pool is behaving like an ISP, because it is one. - The domain in those names is a regional nickname rather than the county's own, so the service was branded for the area it covers instead of the government that runs it. Nothing in DNS says a public body is behind it.
- The netnames split into two eras. Two of them spell out an address range in the old registry style and two carry a broadband label, which places the fibre build long after the county first held address space.
- Public broadband built where private carriers did not go is a policy decision made visible in the routing table.

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 2026-10-22, 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: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-23. 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.
