United States of America · AI-generated

cable dsl isp residential

The AS handle ETEX-COMMUNICATIONS is held by ETEX Communications, LLC.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential broadband services, as indicated by the PeeringDB classification of "Cable/DSL/ISP" and the company's public offering of high-speed internet packages.
  • The network announces 26112 IPv4 addresses across 14 prefixes, with 12 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a local access provider rather than a transit carrier.

Notable

  • All registrants in the RDAP data align with the announcer, consistently listing ETEX COMMUNICATIONS, LLC, with one netname variant "ETEXC" for the 204.154.16.0/22 block.
  • The address inventory is composed of multiple /21 and /22 blocks, including 67.216.96.0/20 and 69.165.32.0/20, reflecting a fragmented but cohesive local service area.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
