Summary
vXtream
isp residential uk nsp
QUBE is the AS handle for vXtream Ltd, a UK-based internet service provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business internet access, evidenced by netnames such as
UK-VXTREAM-20031032andLN1-AL2-22, and reverse DNS entries pointing tovxtream.com. - The AS announces 11,008 IPv4 addresses across 9 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 99 observed neighbours. This high neighbour count relative to the address inventory indicates a role focused on transit and peering rather than a large-scale access network.
Notable
- Registrants for the majority of prefixes are listed as
vXtream LtdorvXtream NOC, which aligns with the AS holderQUBE vXtream Ltd. - The address inventory is fragmented across multiple /22, /23, and /24 blocks in the 81.19, 81.91, 176.221, and 185.62 ranges, suggesting historical acquisitions or organic growth of the IP estate.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-25, 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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
