Summary

Hardy Telecommunications

United States of America · AI-generated

residential fiber cooperative rural

The AS handle HARDYNET is held by Hardy Telecommunications.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and business broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as n55s255.dhcp.hardynet.com and host-63-67-240-128.hardynet.net.
  • The network announces 6144 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix across 5 IPv4 prefixes, with only 4 observed neighbours, indicating a local access network rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic consists of subscriber eyeballs for ultra-fast broadband, HDTV, and phone services delivered over a fiber-optic network to members in rural West Virginia.

Notable

  • All registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as Hardy Telecommunications, matching the AS holder.
  • Hardy Telecommunications is a nonprofit cooperative formed in 1953, providing telephone and broadband services to members in Hardy County and portions of Grant, Pendleton, and Hampshire Counties in West Virginia.
  • The inventory includes a mix of /20, /22, /23, and /24 prefixes, with netnames including HARDYNET, HARDYNET-2021, and UU-63-67-240.

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 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
