Summary
Velton ISP (Format)
isp eyeball legacy
Velton ISP LLC is a regional Ukrainian broadband provider based in Poltava, trading under the Format / Format24 brand. The registry handle FORMAT-TV-AS and the netname FORMAT-TV-NET-6 both point at that brand rather than at the legal entity.
What it's used for
- Consumer fibre-to-the-home service in and around Poltava, plus IPTV and IP telephony sold in the same bundle.
- Reverse DNS across the space is explicitly subscriber-shaped — addresses resolve as
<ip>.gpon.sta.format24.ua, naming the GPON access technology and the static-address product.
Notable
- A small eyeball network: roughly six IPv4 prefixes plus a single IPv6 /48. Addresses here are homes and small businesses on a GPON access network, not servers.
- The company name and the trading name diverge, which is why the AS resolves under two different labels depending on which registry field is read. The rDNS is the honest signal: it is a residential access network.
Interesting
- The
-TV-in the handle is not decorative. The operator grew out of a television-service business, and IPTV is still sold alongside the internet product.

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: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
