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.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-11, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 432 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.
