Summary
North State Telephone
residential isp dsl cable
NSTELCO is the autonomous system for North State Telephone, LLC.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential customer traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
66-110-247-254-dynamic.northstate.netand72-11-55-254-dynamic.northstate.net. - The AS announces 100,864 IPv4 addresses across 24 prefixes and 6 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining only 5 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the largest prefixes are listed as North State Telephone, LLC, with netnames varying between
NSTAandNSTELCO. - The address inventory is composed of multiple /19 and /20 blocks, including a large /18 block at 159.96.0.0/18, indicating a substantial regional footprint.

Internet exchanges
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 2026-10-28, 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: 448 networks and 1,851 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
