Summary
WideOpenWest (Dothan, Alabama)
isp eyeball legacy
WOW-INTERNET is registered to WideOpenWest Finance LLC — the US cable operator that trades as WOW! — and carries its Dothan, Alabama cable market.
What it's used for
- Residential cable broadband. Reverse DNS is unambiguous: subscriber addresses resolve under
…dothan.cable.graceba.net, naming both the city and the access technology. - This is an eyeball network, not a transit or hosting AS.
Notable
- The
graceba.netdomain in reverse DNS is a fossil of Graceba Total Communications, the local Dothan provider whose network passed through Knology and into WOW!. The addressing and DNS were never rebranded. - The AS is small — a single
216.47.192.0/19allocation — because it serves one legacy market rather than WOW!'s national footprint, which rides other AS numbers. - A good reminder that the registered holder tells you who owns a network, while reverse DNS often tells you what it actually is.

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: 453 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-11. 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.
