Summary
Verizon Business (UUNET) — Europe
tier-1 transit isp legacy
The European arm of Verizon's former UUNET backbone (UUNET, AS702), a Tier 1 IP transit and business-connectivity network.
What it's used for
- IP transit and enterprise/wholesale connectivity across Europe, part of Verizon Business's global backbone.
Notable
- Sibling to AS701 (North America) and AS703 (Asia-Pacific) — the same historic UUNET network split into regional ASNs.
- A Tier 1 network: it reaches the whole internet through peering, buying transit from no one.
Interesting
- The UUNET lineage makes 701/702/703 among the most storied ASNs in the routing table, tracing back to one of the first commercial ISPs.

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: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. 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.
