Autonomous system
AS7014 XO-AS7014 - Verizon Business
Unclassified ARIN
Summary
Verizon Business (former XO Communications)
enterprise isp legacy
Autonomous System 7014 (XO-AS7014) is registered to Verizon Business and is one of the ASNs inherited from XO Communications, the national business carrier Verizon acquired.
What it's used for
- Originating a handful of prefixes on behalf of XO's business customers. The blocks are ARIN reassignments to end-user companies — a marine towing firm, a contact-centre operator, an analytics company — plus legacy Allegiance Telecom (
ALGX) space now held by Verizon. - Reverse DNS on the space that has any resolves to XO's generic
…ptr.us.xo.netpattern.
Notable
- A business/enterprise AS, not an eyeball one: the addresses land on corporate sites and customer edge routers rather than home broadband.
- XO's main network is AS2828; AS7014 is a much smaller sibling that survived the merger with its old handle intact.
Interesting
- The handle is a fossil twice over —
XO-AS7014still names a company that no longer exists, and some of the address blocks under it name a company (Allegiance Telecom) that XO itself absorbed years before Verizon absorbed XO.

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: 454 networks and 1,854 prefixes, as published 2026-11-09. 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.
