About this network

A Quebec access provider, now operating within the Sogetel group.

What it's used for

• Subscriber access. 2,304 addresses over six prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour.

Notable

• Reverse DNS across five of the six prefixes answers under sogetel.net, in a fixed positional form — ip064.203-243-199.sogetel.net puts the last octet first and the rest of the address backwards after it.
• Three of the /24s are registered to Sogetel rather than to Quebec Internet, under netnames QUE18-03278-20180724-CA, -20180725-CA and -20180726-CA: three consecutive days in July 2018.
• A third naming stem appears on the two 207.96 blocks, AMI-207-96-205-0-24 and AMI-207-96-206-0-24, which matches neither the announcer's nor Sogetel's other names.
• One observed neighbour. Whatever this network reaches, it reaches through a single upstream.

Interesting

• Sogetel is one of the small telephone companies that survived in rural Quebec after the Bell consolidation, and several of them were founded as cooperatives owned by their subscribers. Buying a regional ISP and folding it in is how those companies moved from telephone service to internet service without building the customer base twice.
• The registry preserves the merge in progress. The AS still announces under its own name, the reverse DNS has already moved to the parent, and the address registrations are split between the two. Three consecutive netname dates in 2018 mark the day the paperwork was done.
