Unclassified ARIN
Summary
London Hydro
business infrastructure government
A municipal electric utility whose AS handle names the fibre service it sells rather than the utility itself.
What it's used for
- A city-owned electricity distributor's network. 256 addresses in a single IPv4 prefix, with two observed BGP neighbours and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The AS handle names a connectivity brand; the netname
LONDONHYDRO1names the utility. - The whole footprint is
199.164.255.0/24, registered to the utility. - First seen in routing on
2013-09-20, recent for a number in this range. - Three addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Electric utilities own poles, conduit and rights of way, which makes them natural fibre operators in their own service area. The brand in the handle is the commercial face of that; the netname is the regulated business underneath. Both are the same organisation.
- A first-seen date long after the number was issued means this AS existed on paper for years before anything was announced from it, which usually marks a service that was planned well ahead of being sold.
- Two upstreams for a utility is better than the single link several of its peers in this range manage, and it matters more for a business that sells connectivity to others.
- The counter on the netname implies a second utility block that has not appeared in routing.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
