Summary

Foremost Telecommunications

United States of America · AI-generated

cable dsl isp residential

The AS handle NETSPAN is held by Foremost Telecommunications.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and business connectivity, evidenced by the reverse DNS record 254.69.122.74.static.foremosttech.net and netnames such as FOREMOSTTECH and FOREMOST-TELECOM-CGNT-NET-1.
  • With 6,912 IPv4 addresses announced across 8 prefixes and 18 observed neighbours, the ratio suggests an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • Registrants include Foremost Technologies Corporation and Foremost Telecommunications, with one prefix registered to Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD under the netname PSJISD.
  • The address inventory consists of eight IPv4 prefixes with no IPv6 prefixes in inventory, including a /21 block and several /22 and /23 blocks.

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.
