Summary
Vero Broadband
isp telecom business
The counters on the block names skip from six to ten to twelve.
What it's used for
- A broadband provider's network. Eight IPv4 prefixes announced from the United States, no IPv6, four thousand and ninety-six addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The AS handle joins an older company name to the AS number itself. The holder line gives a newer name with a different second word.
- All eight blocks are registered to the holder under one scheme: the brand, a version marker for the address protocol, then a contraction of the word block and a counter.
- Those counters read six, ten and twelve. The gaps say other numbered blocks exist outside this announcement, or existed once.
- Seven of eighteen queried addresses answered, each the address with hyphens on a fourth brand's domain, matching neither the handle's name nor the holder's.
- One observed neighbour carries all eight blocks.
Interesting
- Numbered blocks with gaps are an inventory seen through a keyhole. The routing table shows what is announced; the numbering hints at how much more the operator has, or has let go.
- A version marker in every netname comes from an operator that expected the other protocol to need its own series. None appears here.
- Three brands across the handle, the holder and the reverse zone is a small provider renamed or bought more than once, with each layer of the record frozen at a different point.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
