Summary
ETEX Communications
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.

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 2026-10-11, 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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
