Summary
Arkwest Communications
telecom rural broadband voice
ARKWEST-COMMUICATIONS is the autonomous system for Arkwest Communications Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries telecommunications services, with netnames
ARKWESTandARKWEST-CGNT-NET-1registered to the holder. - The AS announces 6144 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio indicative of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are Arkwest Communications Inc, matching the AS holder.
- Arkwest Communications was acquired by PhireLink, a rural broadband infrastructure provider, as part of a transaction involving Spectracomm, Inc.
- The inventory consists of three distinct IPv4 blocks and a single IPv6 /36, reflecting a modest footprint typical of a regional rural carrier.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-15, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation
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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
