Residential ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
E. I. Catalyst
cable dsl isp regional
EICAT is the autonomous system for E. I. Catalyst, a regional cable and DSL internet service provider in Canada.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
H255.C23.B96.mbs-bb.eicat.caandH0.C68.B0.tor.eicat.ca, which indicate host-based naming conventions typical of subscriber networks. - The AS announces 8,448 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 10 observed neighbours; this ratio of significant address inventory to a moderate peer count is consistent with an access network distributing connectivity to end-users rather than providing transit.
Notable
- Registrants for the two largest prefixes,
66.96.16.0/20and72.0.64.0/20, are listed as E. I. Catalyst, aligning with the AS holder, while the smaller205.189.139.0/24prefix is registered to SCINet Communications under the netnameNET-SCINET. - The address inventory consists of two large /20 blocks and one /24 block, with the /24 representing a distinct segment likely associated with the SCINet registration.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
