The AS handle CLEAR-RATE-COMMUNICATIONS is held by Clear Rate Communications, Inc.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries static customer endpoints, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as 168-4-0.static.customer.clearrate.com and 83-66-0.static.customer.clearrate.com.
  • The network announces 14,592 IPv4 addresses across 10 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 9 observed neighbours, a ratio indicative of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • All registrants for the largest prefixes are consistent with the announcer, listing "Clear Rate Communications, Inc." and "Clear Rate NOC" with netnames like CRC-NET and CRC-OLD-TDW.
  • The address inventory is finely subdivided into multiple /22 and /21 blocks, including specific allocations marked with dates in netnames such as CRC-SEP-2014 and CRC-APR-2014, suggesting internal segmentation of the corporate estate.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
