Summary
BinkNet
residential isp cable dsl
BINKNET is operated by Bink Group Ltd.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by the reverse DNS domain
binknet.ukand the registrant netnameUK-IPASSETS-20180522. - The AS announces 512 IPv4 addresses and 1 IPv6 prefix, with only 1 observed neighbour, indicating a small-scale access network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic consists of subscriber eyeballs for cable and DSL services, as BinkNet (also known as BizNetUK) operates as a local ISP in the United Kingdom.
Notable
- Registrants include Hostmasters, Bink Group Ltd, and Bink Hostmasters, aligning with the announcer BinkNet Bink Group Ltd.
- The address inventory is compact, consisting of a single /23 IPv4 block and a single /29 IPv6 prefix.

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: 443 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-24. 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.
