Summary
New Wave Communications
residential cable access
NEWWAVECOMM is the AS handle for New Wave Communications.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential customer endpoints, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to
cpe.sparklight.netfor both announced prefixes. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and maintains 1 observed neighbour, a ratio indicative of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants differ between the two prefixes:
96.18.246.0/24is registered toCABLE ONE, INC.with netnameCABLEONE, while98.142.60.0/24is registered toNew Wave Communicationswith netnameNEWWAVECOMM. - The inventory consists of two /24 blocks, one of which appears to be legacy space from Cable One, now operating under the Sparklight brand as indicated by the reverse DNS.

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 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-21. 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.
