For some reason my previous email was empty. What I wrote:
"Some of these numbers are largely inflated... e.g. Teksavvy at 937,855 estimated users. How can they have 937,855 users if they "only" have 686,848 IPv4 (https://bgp.he.net/AS5645)? Also, Allstream/Zayo AS15290 has a lot of IPs but it's mostly corps/govs. So it's a mix of inflated and false positives.

I think it's all under the same ASN (might be wrong though) * There are some scrapers on the OVH network - definitely not half a million though Best Regards, Filip Hruska Dne 10/2/17 v 22:05 Stephen Fulton napsal(a): > Hi Jack, > > As OVH is a data centre, I find that extraordinary if eyeballs were > the cost.
