Summary
Baraga Telephone Company (UP.NET)
isp residential legacy
UP-NET is the Autonomous System of the Baraga Telephone Company, a small rural
telephone company in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The handle is its internet brand,
UP.NET — "UP" for Upper Peninsula.
What it's used for
- Consumer and small-business internet access across a sparsely populated rural footprint. The reverse DNS is a textbook access pattern: every sampled address resolves to a generated per-IP name on the
up.netzone, such as206-51-112-N.up.netand68-70-128-N-bar.up.net(thebarsuffix marking the Baraga exchange). - Local telephone service and the transport behind it, which is where the address space and the AS originally came from.
Notable
- This is a genuine eyeball / access network, just a very small one: about 10k addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, plus a
2001:4a0::/32IPv6 allocation that is unusually generous for a carrier this size. - Addresses here are end-user lines, mixed residential and small-business, not servers. The consistent first-party rDNS across its own assignments is what separates a real small ISP from a leased-address operation.
