Summary
Beanfield Technologies (Urbanfibre)
isp legacy
URBAN-15-AS is registered to Beanfield Technologies Inc. of Toronto. The handle preserves its origin: the AS came from Urban Communications / Urbanfibre, the Burnaby, British Columbia fibre operator that Beanfield acquired in July 2022. Its address space still serves the Greater Vancouver network.
What it's used for
- Fibre connectivity in the Greater Vancouver area over the former Urbanfibre network, whose customers include municipalities such as the City of Vancouver and the City of Coquitlam.
- Business and multi-tenant building connectivity, plus some hosted and colocated services within the announced ranges.
Notable
The customer mix is institutional and commercial — city governments, businesses and building networks — rather than a mass-market residential pool, which is why the address count is modest for an ISP. Reverse DNS across the space is heterogeneous, pointing at individual customer and hosted systems rather than uniform subscriber pools.
Beanfield builds and owns its own fibre in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Vancouver; this AS is specifically the Vancouver-region asset, not Beanfield's main Ontario network.
Interesting
The AS registration predates the acquisition by well over a decade, so the number rides with the network rather than the brand — a common pattern in Canadian fibre consolidation, and a reason the registered holder name and the reverse DNS can disagree.

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: 440 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

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.
