Summary
WorldGate
isp legacy
WORLDGATE is a Canadian internet service provider in Alberta. Its announced space carries incentre.net reverse DNS, tying the AS to The Internet Centre, the long-running Edmonton ISP that grew out of CCI Networks.
What it's used for
- Retail and business internet access in Edmonton and surrounding Alberta communities, plus hosting and wholesale services.
- Roughly 23k IPv4 addresses across about two dozen prefixes, several of which are registered to CCI Networks Inc., the ISP's earlier corporate identity.
Notable
- An eyeball ISP address, not a datacentre one. Reverse DNS on the space shows core routers and municipal customers rather than server farms.
- Independent regional ISPs like this one are increasingly rare in Canada, where the retail market is dominated by a handful of national carriers.
Interesting
- The Internet Centre traces its roots to 1993 and is generally described as Alberta's first ISP, which puts a genuinely early provider behind this low AS number.
