Residential ARIN Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
TekSavvy Solutions, Inc.
isp legacy
The network of TekSavvy Solutions, Inc., an independent Canadian internet service provider headquartered in Chatham, Ontario, registered under the handle TEKSAVVY.
What it's used for
- Residential and small-business broadband, primarily in Ontario and Quebec, delivered largely over wholesale access to incumbent cable and DSL networks alongside TekSavvy's own facilities.
- Roughly 733,000 IPv4 addresses, the bulk of which land on home subscribers.
Notable
- An eyeball network, and one of the largest independent (non-incumbent) ISPs in Canada, so the space behind this AS is overwhelmingly residential rather than hosting.
- ARIN registered AS5645 to TekSavvy in 2005, long after the early-internet era. The low number is a reassignment, not an original allocation.
Interesting
- TekSavvy is a persistent participant in Canadian regulatory proceedings over wholesale broadband rates and network neutrality, which gives it far more public visibility than its subscriber count alone would suggest.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
