Summary
GWI (Biddeford Internet Corp)
isp eyeball legacy
BIDDEFORD1 is Biddeford Internet Corporation, which does business as GWI (Great Works Internet), a Maine internet provider founded in 1994 and still headquartered in Biddeford.
What it's used for
- Residential and business internet in Maine and parts of New Hampshire: fiber today, and before that DSL, cable and dial-up.
Notable
- An eyeball network: most addresses terminate on subscriber connections rather than servers.
- The registry still carries the original 1994 corporate name even though the company has traded as GWI since 1997, which is why the handle reads like a town rather than a brand.
Interesting
- GWI designs, funds and operates open fiber networks for Maine municipalities rather than only selling retail service, and it is a certified B Corporation, an unusual structure for a broadband carrier.

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.
