Summary
O2 (Telefonica UK)
isp residential eyeball fixed-wireless
Telefonica UK (O2) — the O2 network in the United Kingdom, part of the Virgin Media O2 joint venture.
What it's used for
- Mobile internet and home broadband (including fixed-wireless) for UK consumers.
Notable
- An "eyeball" network: addresses here are UK end users, home and mobile, not servers.
- O2 is one of the UK's largest mobile operators; since 2021 it sits alongside Virgin Media's cable network under Virgin Media O2.
Interesting
- The Telefónica/Liberty Global merger that created Virgin Media O2 paired O2's mobile subscriber base with Virgin Media's fixed cable footprint.

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: 447 networks and 1,845 prefixes, as published 2026-10-31. 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.
