Summary
Home Telephone Co.
residential telecom rural us
HOME-TELEPHONE-ASN is operated by Home Telephone Co.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential telephone services, evidenced by netnames
HOMETEL-NETBLOCKandHOMETELregistered to Home Telephone Co. - The AS announces 3072 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small access network serving local subscribers rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced prefixes match the AS holder, Home Telephone Co., confirming direct ownership of the address space.
- The address inventory consists of two distinct IPv4 blocks, 204.13.112.0/21 and 208.65.124.0/22, alongside a single IPv6 /32 prefix, reflecting a modest footprint typical of a rural or regional carrier.

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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-17. 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.
