Unclassified ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
Optimum
cable residential isp fiber
SUDDENLINK-COMMUNICATIONS is the AS handle for Optimum, formerly known as Suddenlink Communications.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business broadband services, evidenced by netnames such as
SUDDEandSUDDE-NETBLKregistered to Optimum. - With 2,840,320 IPv4 addresses and 70 IPv6 prefixes announced across 877 IPv4 prefixes, the inventory is extensive. The 91 observed neighbours indicate a large access network providing connectivity to end-users rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All sampled registrants are listed as Optimum, consistent with the current branding of the operator.
- Suddenlink Communications was rebranded as Optimum, a subsidiary of Liberty Broadband, following its acquisition and integration into the Liberty Media group.
- The inventory includes large blocks in the 47.0.0.0/8 and 24.0.0.0/8 ranges, reflecting the historical accumulation of address space through mergers and acquisitions in the cable industry.

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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
