Summary

Vexus Fiber

United States of America · AI-generated

fiber isp residential business

NTS-LAKECHARLES-01 is operated by Vexus Fiber.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and business fiber internet traffic, evidenced by netnames such as VEXUS-LAKECHARLES and VEXUS-CGNT-NET-2 associated with Vexus Fiber.
  • The AS announces 3072 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and maintains 2 observed neighbours, a ratio indicative of an access network providing last-mile connectivity rather than transit.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs for home and business internet services, including high-speed fiber connections.

Notable

  • Registrants for the largest prefixes are primarily Vexus Fiber, with one prefix (38.172.114.0/24) registered to NTSC, reflecting the operator's former identity as NTS Communications.
  • Vexus Fiber was formerly known as NTS Communications, was acquired by Vast Broadband in 2019, and subsequently merged with MetroNet in 2022.
  • The inventory consists of four distinct IPv4 prefixes with no announced IPv6 prefixes.

Reputation

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: 455 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-11-13. 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.
