Summary
VTX Communications
cable dsl isp residential
The AS handle VTXC is held by VTX Communications LLC.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential customer traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
254.customer.vtx1.netand the netnameVTXC-1. - With 20,224 IPv4 addresses announced across 23 prefixes and 21 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the largest prefixes are consistent with the announcer, identified as VTX Communications LLC.
- The inventory consists of finely subdivided blocks in the 72.26.0.0/16, 216.183.0.0/16, and 50.30.0.0/16 ranges, typical of a regional cable or DSL operator managing site-by-site segmentation.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
