About this network

NETNITCO-ASN belongs to Northwestern Indiana Telephone Company, trading as NITCO — a family-run rural telephone company headquartered in Hebron, Indiana. It is the ISP arm of a long-established local exchange carrier.

What it's used for

• Residential and small-business internet in rural northwest Indiana: fibre, DSL and fixed wireless, alongside the company's traditional telephone service.
• Announces a /19 and a /20 of IPv4 plus an IPv6 /32 — a small, self-contained subscriber footprint.

Notable

This is eyeball space: the addresses sit in front of homes and small businesses in a handful of Indiana counties, not in a data centre. Traffic is consumer-shaped — evening-heavy, streaming-dominated, with a modest total address count typical of an independent rural telco rather than a national carrier.

The AS was registered with ARIN in the mid-1990s, when incumbent rural telcos across the US were adding dial-up internet to their phone business and taking their own AS numbers to do it.
