Unclassified ARIN NSP
Summary
FirstLight Fiber
fiber enterprise business northeast
186-ASN is held by FirstLight Fiber, Inc.
What it's used for
- The address space carries static enterprise and business endpoints, evidenced by reverse DNS records such as
162-246-193-0.static.firstlight.netand netnamesFLNET-38andFLNET-53. - The AS announces 1536 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes with 2 observed neighbours, a ratio consistent with a regional fiber access network serving business customers rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of enterprise and carrier customer connectivity, including fiber-optic data, internet, cloud, and unified communications services across the Northeastern United States.
Notable
- Registrants for both announced prefixes are listed as FirstLight Networks, LLC, which aligns with the AS holder FirstLight Fiber, Inc.
- FirstLight Fiber is the result of the rebranding of Oxford Networks and ION Communications following their acquisitions, consolidating their fiber infrastructure under a single corporate identity.
- The inventory consists of two distinct IPv4 blocks, 162.246.192.0/22 and 216.234.138.0/23, with no IPv6 prefixes currently announced.

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: 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.
