Summary
SpaceX Starlink
isp satellite eyeball
Starlink (SPACEX-STARLINK) — SpaceX's low-Earth-orbit satellite internet service, delivering broadband almost anywhere on the planet.
What it's used for
- Consumer and business satellite broadband, especially in rural, remote, maritime, and underserved areas that terrestrial ISPs don't reach.
Notable
- A fast-growing "eyeball" network whose users connect via a phased-array dish to a constellation of thousands of low-orbit satellites, then egress to the internet through SpaceX ground stations.
- Because traffic exits at ground stations rather than the user's physical location, Starlink IP geolocation can be coarse or land at a regional PoP.
Interesting
- Its low-orbit design gives far lower latency than traditional geostationary satellite internet, making it usable for things like video calls and gaming.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
