IPv4 Buyer Testimonials

"Brander Group was the only firm we spoke with that was able to take our need for IPv4 subnets and quickly match us with a seller that could meet them. They've now done so multiple times and I wouldn't hesitate to call on them again."

Vice President of Network Services at RCN Telecom Services

"We recently had an urgent need to buy a /19 and our current vendors rates were not aligned with our budget. I reached out to Jake at the Brander Group and they were able to get me a clean /19 at the price I was looking for. Communication throughout the whole process was timely and consistent. In the future, I plan to give the Brander Group the first shot at any new IPv4 subnet requirements I might have."

Vice President of Engineering at Summit Broadband

"We really enjoyed working with the Brander Group in buying a /19 IPv4 address block. They were responsive to our questions and provided continuous updates throughout the ARIN pre-approval and IPv4 transfer process. Because of their help, we're able to provide business internet and IPv4 subnets to new customers as well as meet the growth needs of existing customers."

Director of Operations at Dakota Carrier Networks

"After our first experience to purchase IPv4 address space with a company that would lead us into over a four month battle of empty promises and no movement of an IPv4 address subnet. We were referred to Brander Group Inc. by our trusted consultant, to take over and complete the transfer. They instantly had a seller ready for us to purchase a block of Ipv4 addresses. Their professionalism and support through the entire process was second to none. The entire process to just over 2 weeks to complete. I would highly recommend Brander Group Inc. to anyone interested in purchasing Ipv4 addresses."
