isp residential texas small

LAWARD-NET is operated by La Ward Communications, Inc.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential customer endpoints, evidenced by reverse DNS names such as cpe1-64.laward.net, cpe2-64.laward.net, and ippool10-128.laward.net.
  • The network announces 1280 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes with only 3 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of a small access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic consists of subscriber internet access for a local community in La Ward, Texas, a small rural area.

Notable

  • All four announced prefixes are registered to La Ward Communications, Inc., with netnames LAW-23 and LAWARD, fully consistent with the AS holder.
  • The inventory is small and fragmented, consisting of one /23 and three /24 blocks, typical of a small regional ISP that has accumulated address space over time.

Reputation

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: 453 networks and 1,848 prefixes, as published 2026-11-12. 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.
