Summary
Magnet Networks
residential isp cable dublin
MAGNET-AS is operated by Magnet Networks Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential and business broadband access, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
d-85-91-23-254.ftth.ie.magnet.ieand87-198-175-254.static.ptr.magnet.ie. - With 104,704 IPv4 addresses announced across 26 prefixes and 82 observed neighbours, the high neighbour count relative to the address block size indicates a role focused on peering and transit for an access network.
Notable
- Registrants consistently identify as Magnet Networks Limited or Magnet NOC, aligning with the AS holder.
- The operator trades as Magnet Plus, an Irish provider of telephone, television, and broadband services launched in Dublin in 2004.
- The inventory is dominated by the 87.198.0.0/17 and 87.198.128.0/18 blocks, with smaller allocations in 85.91.0.0/19 and 87.232.0.0/16 ranges.

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: 443 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.
