Hosting ARIN
Summary
US Signal (Minneapolis / former VISI)
hosting legacy
Registered with ARIN in 1996 as VISI-AS — VISI, the Minneapolis internet and colocation provider — this AS is now held by US Signal Company, L.L.C. under the handle US-SIGNAL-MN01, after the Minneapolis facility passed through OneNeck IT Solutions and, in September 2024, into US Signal's hands.
What it's used for
- Colocation, cloud and managed IT services out of US Signal's Minneapolis (Eden Prairie) data centre — the building the industry still calls the VISI facility.
- IP transit for the tenants and managed customers in it.
Notable
- The blocks are all registered to US Signal under netnames like
US-SIGNAL7:209.98.0.0/16,208.42.0.0/17,209.134.128.0/19and a few /24s, roughly 120k IPv4 addresses plus2001:18c8::/32. - Reverse DNS is sparse to absent across the space — no subscriber pools, no
dsl-ordyn-naming anywhere. This is server and tenant addressing. - Only a handful of BGP neighbours. It is a regional datacentre network buying transit, not a carrier.
Interesting
- The worklist handle for this ASN still reads
VISI-AS, three owners out of date. The registry name is a good reminder that handles outlive the companies that file them; the current holder is what matters when reading an address.

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: 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.
