Summary
GIG Networks
isp business legacy
GIG Networks AS (ASN-GIGNETWORKS) is a Norwegian internet provider based in
Oslo, operating on the gigbone.net domain.
What it's used for
- Internet connectivity for Norwegian business customers, on both static and dynamically assigned addresses.
- Supporting services and a small amount of transit to one downstream network.
Notable
- The reverse DNS is unusually explicit about the customer type: names run
IP-WITH-DASHES.biz.static.gigbone.netandIP-WITH-DASHES.biz.dynamic.gigbone.net. Thebizlabel appears throughout, and no consumer-style pool naming shows up. - A small operator: about 5,000 IPv4 addresses in two prefixes, plus an IPv6
/32, with a couple of upstreams.
Interesting
- The AS number is far lower than the network's size or age would suggest. Treat the low number as a registry artifact rather than evidence of early-internet pedigree — RIPE's
created:dates are not allocation dates, and nothing here points to a 1990s origin.
