Residential APNIC Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
SMARTCOM TELEPHONE, LLC
isp telecom business
Half the estate is registered to school districts and other companies, and the provider's own reverse names moved to a second domain partway through.
What it's used for
- A regional telephone company's broadband network. 40,448 addresses across 28 IPv4 prefixes plus three IPv6 prefixes, with 23 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Six blocks carry
SMARTCOM-TELEPHONE, registered toSMARTCOM TELEPHONE, LLC, most listing anAUP Enforcement Teamalongside the company. - The rest belong to other organisations.
ESC1-ISP-NETWORKis registered toRegion One Education Service Center,UNITEDISDtoUnited Independent School District,SBCISD-NETtoSan Benito Consolidated Independent School District,ASHTON-ROWtoAshton Systems Corporation,COBA-HEADEND-01toCoba SystemsandTWIN01toWIRELESS INTERNET CORPORATION. - Seven of eighteen sampled addresses returned a name, under two domains:
64-88-207-255-smartcom.sc2000.netand173-209-71-255-smartcom.sctel.co. - The education service center's block names its own addresses
user.148.0.esc1.net.
Interesting
- A registrant field carrying
AUP Enforcement Teamrecords a function rather than a person, which is how a provider publishes an abuse channel without exposing anyone by name. - Two domains, identical label format. The word
smartcomstill sits inside every label, so the generator survived the move and only the suffix changed. Renaming a zone is cheap; regenerating every label is not. - The education block writes the last two octets forwards and calls its addresses
user, a scheme belonging to whoever runs that network rather than to the AS announcing it. - An ISP whose routed space is mostly other people's is a wholesale operation. The customers keep their registrations and buy transit; the AS is the road, not the destination.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
