Summary
Viasat
isp residential eyeball
AS7155 is operated by Viasat, Inc., a US satellite broadband provider serving home internet to consumers (marketed as Viasat Internet, formerly Exede and WildBlue).
What it's used for
- Residential satellite home internet for US households, especially in rural and underserved areas beyond the reach of cable and fibre.
Notable
- An "eyeball" network: addresses here are consumer home connections delivered over satellite, not servers, and commonly sit behind carrier-grade NAT.
- Viasat is one of the largest consumer satellite ISPs in the US.
Interesting
- Note: this ASN is Viasat, not Cox Communications, despite occasional mislabels in provider lists.

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 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
