The AS handle GLIDE is held by Glide Student & Residential Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries a mix of legacy NTT America blocks (netnames

- The operator is also known by several former brand names including Warwicknet, Freewire, Studentcom, Livingcom, and Cablecom.
- The inventory includes a significant block of legacy NTT America prefixes alongside more recent UK allocations, indicating a history of consolidation.

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: 436 networks and 1,771 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.
