About this network

SOVER-ASN is the legacy Sovernet ASN, now operated by FirstLight, a fiber network and data-centre provider across Vermont, New York and the wider Northeast. Sovernet was founded in 1995 and folded into FirstLight in 2017; the ARIN records now list FirstLight Networks, LLC as the holder.

What it's used for

• Internet access and IP transport for business, institutional and carrier customers on FirstLight's Northeast fiber footprint.
• The legacy Sovernet address space, which historically carried Vermont broadband and dial-up subscribers as well as data-centre customers.

Notable

• The ASN dates from Sovernet's 1995 ARIN registration, so the low number is a genuine mid-90s allocation rather than a reissue, even though the operator name has changed twice.
• FirstLight's build is fiber-transport-led: dedicated internet, wavelengths and colocation, including the Burlington, Vermont data centre inherited from Sovernet.

Interesting

• Sovernet's network was expanded with federal BTOP stimulus fiber in Vermont, and those route miles came across in the FirstLight combination.
