About this network

EATEL — the East Ascension Telephone Company, an independent Louisiana telco headquartered in Gonzales that now trades under the brand REV.

What it's used for

• Residential and business broadband, fiber internet, TV, and phone service across southeast Louisiana, between Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

Notable

• An eyeball network: most of its ~112,000 addresses terminate on subscriber equipment rather than on servers.
• One of the independent local exchange carriers that stayed independent through the consolidation of US telephony, and built fiber early in its territory.

Interesting

• ARIN registered AS5009 in 1995, and the organization record dates from the same period — a genuinely early allocation held continuously by the same company.
