Summary
Empire Fiber Internet
isp fiber residential business
EMPIRE-40545 is held by Empire Fiber Internet, a regional fiber optic provider operating in New York and Pennsylvania.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business customer traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
static-66-115-71.cust.empireaccess.netandpool-104-255-85.cust.empireaccess.net. - The AS announces 45,824 IPv4 addresses across 11 prefixes and maintains 25 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with an access network serving local subscribers rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic consists of subscriber eyeballs, office workers, and web/API endpoints for a fully fiber-based ISP offering internet, phone, security, and HD streaming TV services.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are Empire Access, while specific blocks are registered to Beaver Valley Cable Co. Inc. and Elmira College, indicating leased space or post-acquisition history.
- Empire Access rebranded to Empire Fiber Internet, reflecting its evolution from a cable operator to a fully fiber-based provider.
- The inventory includes a mix of large /18 blocks and smaller /22 and /23 prefixes, with one /24 block registered to Elmira College.

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: 442 networks and 1,778 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.
