residential isp broadband us

SWTC is the autonomous system for Swiftel Communications.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by the reverse DNS record 66-17-119-254-swiftelNET.brookings.net and the registrant description "Swiftel Communications ISP".
  • The AS announces 8192 IPv4 addresses within a single prefix (66.17.96.0/19) and one IPv6 prefix (2001:49b0::/32), while maintaining only 2 observed routing neighbours. This high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.

Notable

  • The RDAP registrant for the announced prefix is "SWIFTEL COMMUNICATIONS", which aligns directly with the AS holder name "SWTC - SWIFTEL COMMUNICATIONS".
  • The address inventory consists of a single contiguous IPv4 block and a single IPv6 prefix, suggesting a consolidated internal estate for a regional provider.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-11, 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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-12. 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.
