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.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
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: 431 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
