Residential ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
Whidbey Telephone Company (Whidbey Telecom)
isp legacy
Whidbey Telephone Company (WHIDBEY), the local telephone and internet provider for Whidbey Island and the Point Roberts area of Washington State, trading as Whidbey Telecom.
What it's used for
- Residential and small-business internet access over the company's telephone and fiber plant.
- About 20,000 IPv4 addresses, sized for a small rural carrier's subscriber base.
Notable
- This is an eyeball network: most addresses terminate at homes and local businesses, so traffic from this range is end-user traffic.
- A family-run independent telephone company of the sort that still serves much of rural America, having added internet service on top of its legacy voice network.

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: 452 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-05. 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.
