Summary
Bandwidth
transit enterprise leased uk
BANDWIDTH-AS is operated by Hydra Communications Ltd, the UK entity behind the Bandwidth brand.
What it's used for
- The address space carries a mix of corporate infrastructure and leased IP blocks, evidenced by netnames such as
UK-HYDRACOM-19960723,SKY-LEASED-IPXO, andIPXO-LLC. - With 130,048 IPv4 addresses announced against 245 observed neighbours, the high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit or peering-heavy role rather than a pure access network.
Notable
- Registrants include Hydra Communications Ltd, BITE Latvija, Internet Utilities, Sky UK Limited, and IPXO LLC, reflecting a portfolio of owned and leased prefixes.
- The inventory consists of 271 IPv4 prefixes and 26 IPv6 prefixes, with the largest block being 89.191.96.0/20.
- Reverse DNS entries point to
telecombusinessforme.net,virtvps.com, andbaremetal.zare.com, suggesting usage for business services and virtualization.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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 1,852 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.
