Summary
Lumos Networks / Segra
isp enterprise legacy
LUMOS is registered to LUMOS Networks, Inc., but every technical and abuse contact on the ARIN record is at segra.com: the network is operated by Segra, the fibre carrier built from the old Lumos Networks and Spirit Communications.
What it's used for
- Fibre-based carrier and enterprise connectivity across Virginia and the wider mid-Atlantic and southeast — the successor to nTelos's wireline network.
- The customers visible in reverse DNS are institutional: a state university, city governments, a public library system, and assorted businesses numbered out of Segra's blocks. Unassigned space still resolves as
IP-ADDR.unassigned.ntelos.net, and some legacy fixed-wireless CPE naming survives onntelos.nettoo.
Notable
- Three company names are layered on one AS: the rDNS says nTelos, the registry says Lumos, the contacts say Segra. The rDNS is the oldest layer and the registry name the middle one; the contacts are the current truth.
- Do not read the "Lumos" name as a consumer ISP. The traffic-bearing space here is business, government and education access, not a residential subscriber pool.
Interesting
- Registered with ARIN in January 1997, when the holder was still part of the nTelos family — an unbroken registration through three rebrands and two ownership changes.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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: 442 networks and 1,773 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.
