Summary

Canada · AI-generated

rural broadband isp canada

AS-PLATINUM-COMMUNICATIONS is held by Xplore Inc.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries rural broadband subscriber traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries like ip-216-45-104-0.xplore.ca and netnames such as PLATCOM-AB-1 and EFIREHOSE.
  • The AS announces 34,304 IPv4 addresses across 19 prefixes with only 4 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access network serving end-user subscribers rather than transit.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of residential and rural business internet access, delivered via fibre and 5G wireless technologies to communities outside major urban centres.

Notable

  • All registrants in the RDAP sample are listed as Xplore Inc., consistent with the AS holder.
  • The operator formerly operated under the brand Xplornet before rebranding to Xplore.
  • The inventory is dominated by the 69.31.0.0/16 block, subdivided into numerous /21 and /22 prefixes, alongside larger /19 and /20 allocations.

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: 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.
