Summary
Pioneer Broadband
residential isp cable dsl
The AS handle PWN-ASBLK is held by Pioneer Broadband.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
dhcp-254-251-89-64.pbband.netand netnames likePWN-ME. - The network announces 13056 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes while maintaining only 5 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants largely align with the announcer, with Pioneer Broadband listed for most prefixes, though the 198.100.176.0/20 block is registered to Code200 under the netname
CODE200. - The address inventory consists of seven distinct IPv4 blocks, including two /20s and a mix of smaller /21, /22, /23, and /24 prefixes, with no IPv6 prefixes in the inventory.

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.
