Summary
Georgia Business Net
isp legacy
GABN is Georgia Business Net, Inc., a long-running internet and managed communications provider based in Augusta, Georgia.
What it's used for
- Business internet access, managed IT, and cloud/voice services for customers in the Augusta and North Augusta area.
- Announces a single
216.104.128.0/19— about 8,000 addresses, all the space a regional business ISP needs.
Notable
- Reverse DNS on the block (
eltoro.gabn.net,doubleeagle.gabn.net,dsl5.gabn.net) shows named infrastructure hosts and access gear rather than large residential subscriber pools: this is a business-focused provider, as the name says, not a consumer eyeball network. - A small independent ISP holding a four-digit AS number registered in 1996 — from an era when a regional provider could still get one without ceremony.
Interesting
- The company still operates under the same name and from the same city nearly thirty years after the AS was registered, which is rare among the small ISPs of that generation.

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 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-11-08. 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.
