AS26873 QCOL-AS - QCOL INC
Unclassified ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
QCOL
cable isp residential fiber
The AS handle QCOL-AS is held by QCOL INC.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential fiber-to-the-x (FTTX) services, evidenced by reverse DNS records such as
fttx-69-89-171-254.qcol.netandfttx-69-164-235-254.qcol.net. - The network announces 8192 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 19 observed neighbours; this ratio of address space to peering partners indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- The registrants for both announced IPv4 prefixes are consistent with the AS holder, identified as QCOL INC with the netname
QCOL-PAMDWV-NETWORK-01. - The address inventory consists of two /20 blocks in the 69.0.0.0/8 range and a single /32 IPv6 prefix, representing a modest footprint typical of a regional cable or fiber ISP.

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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
