AS3213 BOGONS-ASN
Residential RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
Bogons Ltd
isp legacy
BOGONS-ASN belongs to Bogons Ltd, a United Kingdom internet provider that builds business connectivity and community full-fibre networks. The company styles itself an "ISP for the clueful".
What it's used for
- Leased lines and business-grade IP connectivity across the UK, with SLAs and IPv6 support.
- Full-fibre (FTTP) network design and delivery for rural and underserved communities.
- Ancillary hosting, DNS, and colocation in London Docklands data centres.
Notable
- A small, engineering-led operator rather than a mass-market ISP: around 14,000 IPv4 addresses, spread across business customers and community fibre projects rather than a large consumer base.
- The name is a networking in-joke — a "bogon" is a packet or route from address space that should not be routable at all.
Interesting
- Holding a four-digit AS number this low is unusual for a company of this size; it puts Bogons in the same numeric neighbourhood as national carriers and research networks.

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: 442 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
