AS56329 GIGACLEAR
Residential RIPE
Summary
Gigaclear
residential broadband rural fibre
GIGACLEAR is operated by Gigaclear Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as
213-18-175-254.customer.gigaclear.netand netnames likeUK-GIGACLEAR-19990916. - The AS announces 106,496 IPv4 addresses across 27 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes, while maintaining 81 observed neighbours; this high address-to-neighbour ratio indicates an access network rather than a transit provider.
- Traffic consists of subscriber eyeballs for rural full-fibre broadband services, supporting streaming, gaming, and remote work for residential customers in the United Kingdom.
Notable
- Registrants for all sampled prefixes consistently list Gigaclear Administration, Gigaclear Engineering, and Gigaclear Limited, aligning perfectly with the AS holder.
- The address inventory is finely subdivided into multiple /18, /19, /20, and /21 blocks, reflecting a large-scale internal corporate estate segmented by site or service area.

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.
