About this network

SVINET-1 is South Valley Internet, an independent ISP based in San Martin, California, serving the "South Valley" — Morgan Hill, Gilroy, San Martin, Hollister and the rural areas south of San Jose. The company was founded in 1994 and its ARIN record dates from January 1995.

What it's used for

• Residential and business internet access across south Santa Clara and San Benito counties, delivered over DSL, fixed wireless and fibre, plus VoIP phone service.

Notable

• An "eyeball" network — the addresses are homes and small businesses. Reverse DNS makes this plain, with subscriber lines named into catalyst-dsl.garlic.net under per-town labels.
• A genuinely early registration: this AS number has been on ARIN's books since the mid-1990s under the same operator, which is rare for an independent ISP of this size.
• It survives as one of the few independent providers left in a region otherwise carved up by national carriers, and is unusual in offering copper, wireless and fibre side by side.

Interesting

• The company's domain is garlic.com (and garlic.net in reverse DNS) — a nod to Gilroy, the self-declared Garlic Capital of the World, which sits in the middle of its service area.
