Summary
ONQ Communications
isp enterprise legacy
ONQ Communications (ONQ-AS-AP, registered simply as On Q), a Brisbane-based Australian telco that sells business-grade internet over its own fibre and fixed-wireless network as well as resold NBN, with a stated specialisation in the education sector.
What it's used for
- Business and enterprise connectivity across Queensland and beyond, plus wholesale services. Despite the ISP shape, this is not a consumer broadband brand — ONQ's customers are companies, multi-site organisations and schools.
- Reverse DNS is the operator's own
i.as7594.netnaming: core routers, access switches and broadband network gateways tagged by site (bne,syd,tsvfor Brisbane, Sydney and Townsville), with customer addresses given flatIP-ADDR.i.as7594.netstyle names.
Notable
- An IP here is most likely a business or institutional connection. Some of the space is delegated straight to customers, and the rDNS shows it: one /24 resolves entirely under a Queensland school's
qld.edu.audomain. - The presence of BNG (broadband network gateway) routers in the rDNS does not make this an eyeball network — the same equipment serves business DSL and NBN services.
Interesting
- The AS is well-peered for its size, with dozens of peers and several upstreams, which is what a small carrier that runs its own network looks like as opposed to a pure reseller.

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: 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.
