Summary
CitéNet Telecom
isp legacy
ASN-CITENET is the network of CitéNet Telecom Inc., a Montreal-based internet service provider serving customers across Quebec and Ontario since the mid-1990s.
What it's used for
- Residential and business internet access in Montreal, Laval, Sherbrooke, Ottawa, and surrounding areas, historically over DSL.
- Web, email, and related services for CitéNet's subscriber base.
Notable
- Eyeball address space: most of what routes through AS4470 is end-user connectivity rather than servers or transit.
- An independent regional ISP that predates the consolidation of Canadian broadband — the ARIN registration dates to 1995.
Interesting
- CitéNet became part of the Pathway group of companies in 2006 but kept operating under its own brand and its own ASN.

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 2026-10-15, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
