AS17093 FAIRPOINT - Fidium
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Fidium
residential isp fiber dsl
FAIRPOINT is the AS handle for Fidium, formerly known as FairPoint Communications.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential broadband access, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
dsl42-254.sunflowertelco.comanddsl222-64.sunflowertelco.com. - With 2048 IPv4 addresses announced across 5 prefixes and only 1 observed neighbour, the network functions as an access provider rather than a transit hub.
Notable
- All registrants are listed as FAIRPOINT COMMUNICATIONS, INC., which aligns with the AS handle
FAIRPOINTdespite the current corporate name being Fidium. - Consolidated Communications rebranded as Fidium, absorbing the FairPoint Communications identity and infrastructure.
- The inventory consists of five IPv4 prefixes, including a /22 block and four /24 blocks, all located in the United States.

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: 453 networks and 1,848 prefixes, as published 2026-11-13. 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.
