Summary
Sogetel
isp legacy
ASN01-SOGE — Sogetel, a regional telecommunications company based in Nicolet, Québec, providing telephone, television, and internet service in the Centre-du-Québec region.
What it's used for
- Residential and small-business broadband access: roughly 82,000 IPv4 addresses handed out to subscribers across Sogetel's serving territory.
- Also carries the company's own service infrastructure (mail, DNS, TV delivery).
Notable
- A true eyeball network — most of the address space terminates on subscriber connections in homes, so traffic is inbound-heavy.
- One of Québec's independent regional telcos, the kind of small incumbent that survived consolidation and now runs its own fibre plant.
- The ASN was registered in 2009, so the low number is reissued rather than an early-internet allocation.

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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
