Summary
FirstLight Fiber, Inc.
isp telecom infrastructure
Most of the blocks it announces are registered to its customers: two colleges, a borough, and a rival carrier.
What it's used for
- A regional fibre carrier's network. 6,656 addresses across seven IPv4 prefixes and 45 IPv6 prefixes, with 22 observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
70.32.48.0/20is registered toWestminster Collegewith netnameWESTMINSTERIP4,166.66.202.0/24toMillersville University of Pennsylvania, and174.34.252.0/24toBorough of State Collegewith netnameBSC-204.38.87.49.0/24carriesCOGENT-A, registered toCogent Communications, LLC.- Only two blocks are the carrier's own, netnames
FLNET-36andFLNET-23, registered toFirstLight Networks, LLCrather than the name on the AS handle. - The AS first appeared in routing on
2012-06-22.
Interesting
- A carrier whose routing table is mostly other people's address space is doing exactly what a regional fibre operator sells: institutions that own portable addresses keep them and change who announces them. The customer list is legible from the registry alone.
- One of those customers is another carrier's block, which is what happens when a competitor's circuit is replaced but the addresses on the equipment behind it are not.
- The IPv6 side runs a doubling ladder from
2607:3180::/47up to/41, forty-five announcements from a handful of allocations, against seven IPv4 prefixes. The newer protocol is where this network's growth has been recorded.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-13, 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 1,773 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.
