Summary
LocalNet Corporation
isp residential eyeball legacy
LNET-ASN is LocalNet Corporation, a consumer internet provider based in Williamsville, New York, just outside Buffalo. It is one of the last national dial-up ISPs still selling service, alongside DSL and resold cable access.
What it's used for
- Residential subscriber access. Reverse DNS across its ranges is uniformly
host-N.OCTETS.localnet.com, with astatic-host-variant for fixed assignments — a textbook eyeball ISP addressing pattern. - Roughly 158,000 IPv4 addresses across two dozen prefixes, including sizeable blocks such as
209.81.192.0/18and66.211.192.0/18-era space, sized for a dial-up and broadband customer base rather than servers.
Notable
- This is a residential eyeball network. LocalNet grew by buying up other providers' dial-up customer bases as the market consolidated; reverse DNS on some of its space still resolves to
voyager.netnames, a fossil of one of those acquisitions. - Registered with ARIN in November 1996, and still held by the original company.
Interesting
- Dial-up ISPs are usually a historical footnote, but LocalNet kept the business alive by consolidating what everyone else abandoned — which is why a mid-1990s AS number and a mid-1990s product line are both still in service here.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
