Summary
Microserve
business isp legacy
MSERVE-AS — Microserve, Inc. of Manhattan (mserve.com), a voice-and-data provider for small and mid-sized businesses. It sells business internet access, hosted VoIP telephony, and private fibre connectivity into cloud providers.
What it's used for
- Business internet and VoIP for New York-area companies. The customer is an office, not a household and not a datacentre tenant.
Notable
- Small and dependent: two /22s (
204.141.116.0/22and204.141.20.0/22, ~2k addresses) and a single observed upstream, AS11168 (Smart Choice Communications). - Those /22s are not Microserve's own address space — they sit inside
204.141.0.0/16, an NTT America direct allocation. This is provider-assigned space announced from a legacy AS number, so ARIN whois on the prefix alone cards NTT rather than the operator actually routing it. - No reverse DNS is published on the announced space, which is common for a small B2B network but does mean the inventory offers little beyond its size.
Interesting
- The ASN was registered in 1996 and the company predates the commercial web entirely. It has stayed independent and stayed small — 2,048 addresses is about as light a footprint as a two-byte AS number gets.

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: 451 networks and 1,853 prefixes, as published 2026-11-04. 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.
