Summary
Moundridge Telephone Co.
telecom rural residential business
The AS handle MTELCO is operated by Moundridge Telephone Co., a family-owned telecommunications provider based in Moundridge, Kansas.
What it's used for
- The address space carries local telecommunications services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
patriot-2.mtelco.netandhost-63-245-191-126.ip.kitusa.com, alongside netnames consistently labeledMT-5. - The network announces 3072 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio indicative of a local access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as Moundridge Telephone Co., fully aligning with the AS holder.
- The address inventory consists of six contiguous or near-contiguous IPv4 blocks within the 63.245.0.0/16 range, reflecting a modest, locally focused footprint.

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.
