Summary
The Internet Business
isp hosting business
Three blocks named for the same city with different four-character site codes on the end.
What it's used for
- A provider's network. Four IPv4 prefixes announced from the United Kingdom, no IPv6, five thousand six hundred and thirty-two addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- Three netnames are the brand, a product name meaning very fast, a city, and a short code of three or four characters. The codes differ on each block and one of them contains a digit.
- The fourth uses the registry's older template of country code, brand, and a date from the middle of the nineteen-nineties, which makes it one of the earliest registrations in this range.
- That oldest block is also the only one that names the company; the other three list a hostmaster role under the company's initials and an abuse role.
- The AS handle is the same string written twice with a space between.
- Twelve addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Short site codes on the end of a netname are usually buildings: an exchange, an office, a data centre. They mean something precise to the people running the network and nothing at all to anyone else, which is the whole point.
- A company that named itself after the internet was making a bet in a decade when that was still a bet, and the registry entry from that decade is still the one carrying its name.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
