Summary
TalkTalk
isp residential eyeball dsl fiber
TalkTalk (TALKTALK) — a major UK residential broadband provider, one of the country's larger consumer ISPs on the Openreach network.
What it's used for
- Home broadband for millions of UK households: DSL and increasingly FTTP fibre delivered over Openreach lines.
Notable
- A large "eyeball" network: addresses here are UK home internet connections, not servers. TalkTalk is a value-focused challenger to BT/EE and Sky.
Interesting
- Grew out of Carphone Warehouse's telecoms arm and built its base on unbundled local-loop (LLU) DSL before the shift to fibre.

Classification and threat
Residential Fixed-line consumer ISP. Addresses here are homes.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
