cust.exede.netreverse DNS records and netnames likeVS-EXEDE1. - The AS announces 5376 IPv4 addresses across 10 prefixes with only 4 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic consists of subscriber eyeballs for satellite internet services, including legacy Exede and current ViaSat consumer and business connections.
Notable
- Registrants include ViaSat, Inc., ViaSat Brasil Serviços de Comunicações Ltda, RuralWeb Telecomunicações Ltda, and Telefônica Global Solutions Brasil Ltda.
- ViaSat completed the acquisition of WildBlue Communications in 2009, which integrated the Exede satellite brand into the ViaSat portfolio.
- The inventory includes prefixes registered to third-party Brazilian entities, indicating leased or historically acquired address space used for regional satellite operations.

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 2026-10-13, 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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
