About this network

AS4581 (SOCKET) belongs to Socket, the Columbia, Missouri independent telecom founded in 1994 and now operating as Socket Fiber. It is one of the state's largest locally owned internet providers.

What it's used for

Broadband access across Missouri. Socket delivers fibre internet to homes in Columbia, Fulton and many rural counties, plus data and voice services to businesses, schools, healthcare and government.

Notable

• Classic eyeball network. The address space is dominated by residential subscriber assignments rather than servers, which is what a ~96k-address ISP footprint in a mostly rural state looks like.
• Socket began as a dial-up and DSL competitor and rebuilt around fibre-to-the-home from the early 2010s onward.
