AS17385 ORBITEL
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Orbitel Communications
residential cable legacy business
The AS handle ORBITEL is held by Orbitel Communications, LLC.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS names like
hostpool2-netid.maricopa.orbitelcom.comandcable10-1.wbhsi.net. - The AS announces 27,904 IPv4 addresses across 32 prefixes with only 6 observed neighbours, a ratio that indicates an access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants are mixed: while the largest prefixes are registered to Orbitel Communications, LLC, other blocks show netnames like
CENTURYLINK-LEGACY-QWESTandZCORUM, reflecting historical acquisitions or leased space. - The inventory includes legacy prefixes from Qwest and ZCorum, indicating the address space was assembled through corporate mergers and acquisitions over time.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into /20, /22, and /24 blocks, consistent with a regional cable operator managing distinct service areas.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-31, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
