Unclassified RIPE
Summary
SAQ
residential legacy dialup uk
The AS handle SAQ-UK-AS is held by Semtec Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries legacy dial-up and ISDN access infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
dialup137-64.saqnet.co.ukandisdn129-126.saqnet.co.uk. - The network announces 4864 IPv4 addresses across 7 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio that indicates a small, isolated access network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- Registrants are consistent with the announcer, with most prefixes registered to Semtec Limited and two smaller blocks registered to the SAQ Registry Team.
- The address inventory is a contiguous block within the 195.2.0.0/16 range, subdivided into seven prefixes of varying sizes, reflecting historical allocation patterns for a single operator.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, 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: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. 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.
