What it means to see AS19115 on your network

When you investigate where a connection from your computer or phone comes from (or goes to), you may find AS19115. That means the other end sits on the CHARTER-19115-DC network (the United States). It can be legitimate — a cloud service, an ISP, a CDN — or an unexpected connection worth checking.
