wireless residential business voip

The AS handle RANCH-WIRELESS-INC is held by VTX Communications LLC.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries fixed wireless internet and VoIP services, evidenced by reverse DNS entries pointing to ranchwireless.com and netnames registered to VTX Communications LLC.
  • The AS announces 1280 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes with only 2 observed neighbours, a ratio indicative of an access network serving local subscribers rather than a transit provider.

Notable

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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
