AS207995 LIGHTNINGFIBRE
Residential RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
LightningFibre
isp residential fibre uk
LIGHTNINGFIBRE is operated by LightningFibre LF Holdco 2 Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential fibre-to-the-premises traffic, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
163-126.ebn01.cust.lightningfibre.net.ukwhich identifies customer endpoints on the LightningFibre network. - The AS announces 33,792 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 83 observed routing neighbours; this ratio of moderate address inventory to high peering connectivity indicates a regional access provider rather than a transit carrier.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs for residential broadband services, as LightningFibre is a UK-based cable and DSL ISP providing fibre connectivity to households.
Notable
- All registrants for the announced prefixes are consistent with the AS holder, listing
LF Holdco 2 Limitedas the registrant for212.221.128.0/17,194.24.162.0/23, and194.24.176.0/23. - The address inventory is composed of one large /17 block and two smaller /23 blocks, all located in the United Kingdom.

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: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
