What it's used for
- The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by netnames such as
IE-RAPIDBROADBAND-20061024andIE-RAPIDBROADBAND-20071205registered to Rapid Broadband Ltd. - The AS announces 12,288 IPv4 addresses across 6 prefixes while maintaining only 3 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access network serving local subscribers rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic from this AS consists of subscriber eyeballs for broadband and phone services in West Cork, Ireland, where the company operates as a local provider.
Notable
- Registrants for the two largest prefixes (
91.142.224.0/20and92.60.192.0/20) align with the announcer, Rapid Broadband Ltd, while smaller prefixes are registered to Ag Speednet Limited, Tristan Forde trading as FASTTRACK BROADBAND, and Bemico ULC. - The address inventory is a mix of /20 and /22 blocks, with the majority of the space held directly by Rapid Broadband Ltd.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-13, 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: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
