Summary

Santel Communications Cooperative

United States of America · AI-generated

residential cooperative rural broadband

The AS handle SANTELCOMMCOOP is held by Santel Communications Cooperative, Inc.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries like cust.138282.sxflsdch38R.sdnet.net and netnames such as SANTEL-SDN64.
  • With 6,400 IPv4 addresses announced across 10 prefixes and only 1 observed neighbour, the network functions as an access provider for its member base rather than a transit carrier.

Notable

  • Registrants for most prefixes are listed as Santel Communications Cooperative, Inc., while the largest block 216.106.240.0/20 is registered to SDN Communications, reflecting historical infrastructure relationships.
  • The inventory consists of a mix of /24 blocks and one /20, with IPv6 space allocated under the 2605:4b80::/33 range.

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 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-12. 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.
