Unclassified RIPE NSP
Summary
Conn3ct
isp managed-services uk
G3NS is the AS handle for Conn3ct, formerly known as Connect Managed Services (UK) Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries managed network services, evidenced by netnames such as
UK-CGN-20120209andCMSL-AP, and reverse DNS entries pointing tog3ns.net. - With 14,592 IPv4 addresses across 19 prefixes and 135 observed neighbours, the high neighbour count relative to the address inventory indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a pure access network.
- As a provider of managed data network services and contact center solutions, traffic from this AS consists of enterprise backhaul, managed connectivity for business clients, and associated service endpoints.
Notable
- Registrants consistently identify as Connect Managed Services (UK) Limited or its RIPE handle
GNSA1-RIPE, aligning with the AS holder. - The operator rebranded from Connect Managed Services to Conn3ct, a change reflected in current web presence and PeeringDB listings.
- The inventory includes a mix of /22 and /23 blocks, with the largest being
37.110.248.0/21, alongside a single IPv6 /32 prefix.

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: 448 networks and 1,849 prefixes, as published 2026-10-29. 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.
