BSKYB-BROADBANDand registrants listed asSky UK Broadband Hostmaster. - The AS announces 9,216 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 5 observed neighbours. This high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access network serving end-users rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs for television, broadband internet, and fixed-line telephone services provided to homes and businesses in the United Kingdom.

BSKYBnetnames. - The inventory is dominated by the
93.96.192.0/20block, with the remaining space subdivided into smaller /21, /22, /23, and /24 prefixes.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-31, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
