Summary
Consolidated Communications (Fidium)
isp eyeball legacy
CCINET is Consolidated Communications, a US local exchange carrier and broadband provider that now markets its consumer fiber service under the Fidium brand.
What it's used for
- Fixed broadband for homes and small businesses across Consolidated's incumbent-telco territories, most visibly its northern New England fiber build.
- Business data services and voice on the same carrier backbone.
Notable
- An "eyeball" network: most addresses here terminate on subscriber routers rather than servers, so the space is dominated by residential and small-business traffic.
- Consolidated grew largely by acquiring incumbent telephone companies, which is why its address space and territory are geographically scattered rather than contiguous.
Interesting
- The Fidium brand was pushed to the front of the company's identity as it converted copper telephone plant to fiber-to-the-home, a rebrand of the retail face rather than of the underlying network, which still carries the older
CCINEThandle.

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.
