Summary
Shentel (Shenandoah Cable Television)
isp legacy
SHENTEL belongs to Shenandoah Cable Television LLC, the broadband arm of Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (Shentel), a regional telecom operator headquartered in Edinburg, Virginia.
What it's used for
This is an eyeball network. Shentel sells residential and small-business internet, TV and phone service across the Mid-Atlantic, historically over hybrid fibre-coax and increasingly over its Glo Fiber fibre-to-the-home footprint. The addresses here are handed out to subscriber modems and routers.
Notable
Just over 200,000 IPv4 addresses are announced from this AS, which is a lot for a company of Shentel's size and reflects the per-subscriber address burn of a cable operator. As an eyeball network, its traffic is heavily inbound: subscribers pulling video and web content rather than serving it.
Interesting
Shentel began life as a rural telephone company in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and spent years as a Sprint PCS affiliate before selling that wireless business and doubling down on fibre. The cable subsidiary that holds this AS is the surviving thread of that pivot.

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
