Backbone Connect

United Kingdom · AI-generated

isp residential cable dsl

BACKBONE-CONNECT is operated by Backbone Connect Limited.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as host-0-161-253-159.as4.ldn.uk.sharedband.net and host-254-162-253-159.as3.arqiva-wifi.sharedband.net, which reference Sharedband and Arqiva Wi-Fi access networks.
  • The AS announces 14,080 IPv4 addresses across 13 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 76 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space to high peering density is characteristic of a UK access provider aggregating traffic from multiple upstreams.
  • Traffic originates from cable and DSL subscribers in the United Kingdom, consistent with the operator's role as a regional ISP providing last-mile connectivity.

Notable

  • Registrants are split between Backbone Connect Limited and Hybrid Access Technologies Limited (Sharedband), with netnames like UK-BACKBONECONNECT-20120706 and UK-SHAREDBAND-UK-20120615 reflecting the operator's acquisition of Sharedband assets.
  • The inventory consists of a mix of /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, all located in the United Kingdom, with no significant anomalies in the prefix structure.

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.
