AS4314 NTSC-ASN2 - Vexus Fiber
Residential ARIN
Summary
Vexus Fiber
isp eyeball legacy
NTSC-ASN2 is Vexus Fiber, a fibre-to-the-home provider based in Lubbock, Texas. The handle preserves the name of NTS Communications, the long-standing Lubbock telecom whose network Vexus acquired in 2019 and rebranded; the ARIN record itself dates back to 1995.
What it's used for
- Residential and business broadband over fibre in west Texas — Lubbock, Amarillo, Wichita Falls, Abilene and surrounding markets — and in parts of Louisiana including Hammond, Covington and Mandeville.
Notable
- An "eyeball" network: the address space serves subscriber homes and businesses, so traffic is heavily inbound-consumption shaped.
- Vexus completed a merger with Metronet in June 2022, joining one of the largest independently owned all-fibre operators in the US, though the Vexus brand continues in its own markets.
- The number of separate prefixes announced is high relative to the total address count — dozens of small blocks — which is characteristic of a network assembled by acquisition and market-by-market expansion.

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: 451 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
