Canada · AI-generated

telecom residential business canada

NWST-SAT is operated by Northwestel Inc.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries subscriber and business traffic, evidenced by netnames such as NORTHWESTEL, NW-TEL-7, and NW-TEL-3, and reverse DNS entries like d76-9-42-254.vu.northwestel.net and s76-9-62-190.vu.northwestel.net.
  • The AS announces 9,216 IPv4 addresses across 11 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio that indicates an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
  • As the incumbent local exchange carrier for the Yukon and Northwest Territories, this space supports voice, video, and data services for residential and business customers in Northern Canada.

Notable

  • All registrants in the RDAP data are Northwestel Inc., matching the AS holder and confirming consistent ownership of the announced space.
  • In June 2024, BCE Inc. announced an agreement to sell Northwestel to a consortium of First Nations groups in Northern Canada.
  • The inventory consists of 11 IPv4 prefixes with no IPv6 prefixes announced, reflecting a legacy IPv4-centric deployment typical of rural and northern telecom infrastructure.

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.

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 1,781 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.
