AS5656 ACCESSUS-DOM - accessU.S./BASENet
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
accessU.S./BASENet
isp legacy
ACCESSUS-DOM is accessU.S./BASENet, a small regional internet provider registered in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. It is a mid-1990s ARIN allocation that has stayed with the same holder.
What it's used for
- Five legacy IPv4 blocks (a mix of /18s and /19s) totalling roughly 65,000 addresses, reaching the internet through a single upstream: Charter Communications' Missouri/Illinois network.
Notable
- The address space is far larger than the network's present-day footprint suggests — very little of it carries reverse DNS or hosted content, which is typical of a 1990s dial-up-era ISP allocation that was never given back.
- A single-upstream, single-region network rather than a transit or hosting operator.

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 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. 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.
