Summary
Borwood
business transit nsp uk
BORWOOD-AS is operated by Borwood Ltd, a UK-based network service provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries corporate and logistics infrastructure, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
mc-rx-185-255.borwood.net,td003-dur-4011.borwood.net, andhe502-lon-1121.borwood.net. - With 5120 IPv4 addresses announced across 5 prefixes and 86 observed neighbours, the high neighbour-to-address ratio indicates a transit or network service provider role rather than a pure access network.
Notable
- Registrants are consistent with the announcer, with
Borwood Ltdholding the UK prefixes andBorwood Communications (Pty) Ltdholding the AFRINIC block. - The address inventory is subdivided into five /22 blocks, including four contiguous UK prefixes and one AFRINIC prefix, reflecting a mixed regional footprint.

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 1,781 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
