Summary

Athenet Internet Services

United States · AI-generated

isp legacy

ATHENET is Athenet Internet Services, a regional internet provider based in Appleton, Wisconsin, serving residential and business customers across eastern Wisconsin.

What it's used for

  • Internet access for subscribers in the Appleton, Green Bay and Milwaukee corridor, historically over dial-up, DSL and cable, plus dedicated business circuits, web hosting and colocation.
  • Subscriber addresses carry …athenet.net reverse DNS; part of the space resolves under …ntd.net instead, reflecting related telephone-company operations sharing the AS.

Notable

  • Three /19s (69.28.0.0, 72.1.0.0 and 209.103.192.0) make up the entire footprint — a mid-size independent ISP, large enough to multihome but far from a national carrier.
  • Athenet is one of many independent regional ISPs that took an AS number in the mid-1990s and never got absorbed into a national brand.

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: 447 networks and 1,843 prefixes, as published 2026-11-01. 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.
