Summary
Telcom Systems LLC
isp telecom business
The company is plural and its domain is singular.
What it's used for
- A provider's network. One IPv4 prefix announced from the United States, no IPv6, one thousand and twenty-four addresses, through one observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- The AS handle is the company's two words with a hyphen. The netname is three initials and a three-digit number that matches nothing else in the record.
- The registrant field lists a second contact that is three letters for the kind of business rather than anyone's name or role.
- All three queried addresses answered. Each is a four-letter label meaning customer, the address with hyphens, a city, a two-letter state code, then the domain.
- That domain drops the plural from the company's second word, so the registry and the reverse zone spell the business differently.
- One observed neighbour carries the single block.
Interesting
- A city and a state inside every reverse name tells anyone reading a log where these customers are before it tells them anything else. For a provider serving one area, that is the most useful fact available.
- A three-letter business category in a contact field is a form filled in by someone describing what the company is rather than who to call about it.
- Singular against plural is the kind of mismatch that never causes a problem and never gets fixed, because the two fields are read by different systems that never compare notes.

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 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
