AS8175 HIGHSPEEDWEB

HIGHSPEEDWEB is held by High Speed Web/Genesis 2 Networks, registered with

ARIN at an address in Rock Hill, South Carolina. It announces roughly 41,000 IPv4

addresses. What that space actually carries is not observable, and this card

deliberately stops short of assigning it a category.

What it's used for

• Six aggregate prefixes are announced — including a /17, a /18 and a /19 — behind two small upstreams (a Charlotte-area colocation provider and a regional carrier). There are no downstream networks.
• Reverse DNS: none at all. RIPEstat shows zero rDNS delegations for the two largest blocks, and no sampled address resolves.

Notable

• The announced prefixes are registered to several different ARIN organisations — the AS holder itself, Grand Valley Internet (a Colorado name), and Arachnitec, Inc. — that nonetheless share a single admin contact. Distinct org names with one contact behind them is the classic address-aggregation pattern.
• Public route registries also disagree with the origin on several of these prefixes.
• Do not geolocate these addresses to the holder, and do not treat them as consumer or hosting space. With no rDNS and no downstreams, there is no honest evidence of who or what sits behind them. This AS is intentionally left unclassified.

Interesting

• The blocks are genuinely old legacy allocations, and one still carries a 1990s regional-ISP name it long ago outlived — a reminder that a prefix's registered organisation can be a fossil rather than a fact.
