Summary

satellite residential broadband access

VIASAT-3 is operated by ViaSat, Inc.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential satellite broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries like 70-41-106-0.cust.exede.net and netnames such as WB-DEN1 and WB-DEN5.
  • The AS announces 27,392 IPv4 addresses across 34 prefixes while maintaining only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access network rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs accessing the internet via satellite, consistent with ViaSat's business as a satellite communications provider.

Notable

  • All registrants in the sample are ViaSat, Inc., matching the AS holder.
  • ViaSat completed the acquisition of WildBlue Communications in 2009, which explains the "WB" prefix in the netnames and the integration of WildBlue's address space into ViaSat's infrastructure.
  • The inventory is composed of multiple /21 and /22 blocks, primarily in the 70.41.0.0/16, 75.104.0.0/16, and 184.62.0.0/16 ranges, with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-19, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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 2026-10-20. 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.
