Summary
ElmoNet Oy
isp residential legacy
ELMONET-AS is ElmoNet Oy, a customer-owned Finnish broadband operator based in Ruovesi, serving Pirkanmaa, Central Finland and South Ostrobothnia. It was Pohjois-Hämeen Puhelin Oy — a regional telephone company founded around 1900 — until a 2020 rename, and it now builds and sells fibre-to-the-home.
What it's used for
Fixed broadband access, mostly fibre, to homes and small businesses in rural central Finland. The reverse DNS says so directly and explicitly labels the split: host-IP-ADDR.dynamic.elmonet.fi for dynamically-assigned subscriber addresses and host-IP-ADDR.static.elmonet.fi for fixed ones, alongside a large plain elmo.fi pool. A gateway router in 62.106.0.0/19 still resolves as ruo-kes-phpoy-gw1.phpoint.net — ruo for Ruovesi and phpoy for the old Pohjois-Hämeen Puhelin name.
Notable
- About 33k IPv4 addresses across seven prefixes plus IPv6 — the whole inventory is coherent Finnish RIPE space with first-party rDNS, no third-party registrants.
- Only four observed BGP neighbours. A small regional operator buying transit rather than peering broadly.
- Two generations of the company's identity coexist in the live reverse zones:
phpoint.netfrom the telephone era,elmonet.fiandelmo.fifrom the fibre era.
Interesting
Finland's rural telephone cooperatives were locally owned from the start, and many of them never sold. ElmoNet remains 100% domestically and customer-owned, which is why a 120-year-old village phone company is still originating its own BGP.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
