Summary
Accelerated Data Works, Inc.
isp legacy
ACCELERATION is Accelerated Data Works, Inc., a Gainesville, Florida provider that trades as Acceleration. It sells business fiber internet, digital phone, and hosting (servers, email, web) to customers in the Gainesville and Alachua County area.
What it's used for
- Business-grade connectivity and the company's own hosting platform. The whole footprint sits inside one legacy block,
216.155.96.0/19, carved into a handful of /21–/24 announcements. - No reverse DNS is published on the space, which limits how far its use can be pinned down from routing data alone.
Notable
- ARIN registered the ASN in December 1996 and the
216.155.96.0/19allocation in 2000, so this is a genuinely long-lived independent regional operator rather than a reissued number. - A small multi-homed network of this shape, one legacy /19 and a couple of upstreams, is what an independent regional ISP looked like before consolidation swept most of them up.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-26, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Reputation
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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
