AS5009 EATEL
Residential ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
EATEL (REV)
isp eyeball legacy
EATEL — the East Ascension Telephone Company, an independent Louisiana telco headquartered in Gonzales that now trades under the brand REV.
What it's used for
- Residential and business broadband, fiber internet, TV, and phone service across southeast Louisiana, between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
Notable
- An eyeball network: most of its ~112,000 addresses terminate on subscriber equipment rather than on servers.
- One of the independent local exchange carriers that stayed independent through the consolidation of US telephony, and built fiber early in its territory.
Interesting
- ARIN registered AS5009 in 1995, and the organization record dates from the same period — a genuinely early allocation held continuously by the same company.

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 1,768 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.
