Residential ARIN
Summary
Xplore (Wiband)
isp telecom business
Two reverse names answered, and they disagree about the domain, the scheme and where the octets break.
What it's used for
- A fixed wireless provider's network. Thirty-eight IPv4 prefixes announced from Canada, no IPv6, and two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- The netnames run
WIBAND-NETBLOCK-01throughWIBAND-NETBLOCK-05, a tidy series, except for one block registered to the older company name underNETBLK-WIBAND-WPG-14, which reverses the word order, abbreviates it differently and adds a site code. - Two of eighteen sampled addresses answered. One is
h173-240.187-254.wiband.com, which splits the four octets across a dot so half the address becomes a separate label. - The other is
iphost-64-56-142-254.wpg.wiband.net, a different domain, a different prefix word and the site code as its own label. - The registrant on every resolved block is the acquiring company except that one.
Interesting
- Two answers producing two conventions is the finding. Both name the same network, both encode the address, and no rule derives one from the other, so nothing can parse this operator's reverse names without knowing both forms exist.
- Breaking an address across a label boundary is the more unusual half. It makes the name sort by the second octet pair, and any tool splitting on dots reads the first two octets as a host and the rest as a domain.

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: 442 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
