About this network
ROYELLCOMMUNICATIONSINC is Royell Communications, Inc., an independent broadband provider serving Macoupin, Montgomery, Sangamon, Morgan and neighbouring counties in central Illinois, from a base in Virden. RIS observes 10 IPv4 prefixes covering 9,728 addresses, one IPv6 prefix (2606:7a80::/28), and 3 observed neighbours.
What it's used for
This is a subscriber access network. The sampled reverse DNS is uniformly customer-shaped, with names like 208-91-176-5.wireless.royell.org and 147-161-4-5.mm.crvl.royell.org built from the address itself plus a location or technology tag. Address-derived PTRs of that form are what an operator generates for subscriber pools, not for servers. Royell sells fibre and fixed-wireless service to homes and small businesses across a set of small Illinois towns, and the wireless. and town-coded labels reflect the delivery mechanism rather than any distinction in who is on the other end.
Notable
The IPv6 allocation is a 2606:7a80::/28. That is a very large block for a provider of this size, and its presence in the global table means Royell has actually deployed v6 rather than merely holding the allocation. Small rural ISPs are frequently ahead of much larger operators on this.
Interesting
The address space is scattered across several unrelated IPv4 ranges rather than one contiguous run, which fits a company that has grown by absorbing neighbouring wireless operators and inheriting their numbering along with their towers.
