Summary

WaveDirect Telecommunications

Canada · AI-generated

residential cable wireless fibre

WAVEDIRECT-CDN is operated by WaveDirect Telecommunications.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential and business access traffic, with netnames indicating specific technologies: WD-CBL-01 through WD-CBL-05 for cable, WD-WL-01 for wireless, WD-FIBER-01 for fibre, and WD-UTIL-01 for utility services.
  • The AS announces 17,408 IPv4 addresses across 8 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 2 observed neighbours, indicating a local access network rather than a transit provider.
  • Traffic consists of subscriber eyeballs for residential and business customers in Southwestern Ontario, specifically Windsor-Essex County, using cable, fixed wireless, and fibre connections.

Notable

  • All registrants for the announced prefixes are WaveDirect Telecommunications, matching the AS holder.
  • The address inventory is subdivided by service type, with the largest block (168.100.192.0/19) dedicated to cable services and smaller /22 and /23 blocks allocated to wireless, fibre, and utility segments.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, 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 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
