Summary
Box Broadband
residential isp uk fiber
BOX-BROADBAND is operated by Box Broadband Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
host-45-10-102-254.fttp.boxbb.ukwhich indicates fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) access technology. - The AS announces 25,600 IPv4 addresses across 4 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining only 1 observed routing neighbour, a ratio characteristic of an access network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs for residential broadband services provided by Box Broadband in the United Kingdom.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of the announced space are Box Broadband Limited or Box Broadband Ltd, though the 149.87.192.0/19 prefix is registered to Cogent Communications, LLC.
- The address inventory includes a mix of /19 and /22 blocks, with the 149.87.192.0/19 block retaining a Cogent netname despite being announced by Box Broadband.

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: 449 networks and 1,846 prefixes, as published 2026-11-02. 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.
