AS8265 FASTNET-BKB-ASN FASTNET - Net & Cloud Provider
Unclassified RIPE NSP
Summary
Fastnet S.r.l.
isp hosting legacy
FASTNET-BKB-ASN is the backbone AS of Fastnet S.r.l., an internet and cloud provider based in Ancona and active mainly across the Marche region since the mid-1990s. It is a licensed Italian telecoms operator and runs its own data centre, peering at both MIX (Milan) and NaMeX (Rome).
What it's used for
- Fixed access for businesses and homes in central Italy over xDSL, fibre and Hiperlan/WiFi wireless links, plus colocation, hosting and cloud servers out of Fastnet's own facility.
- Reverse DNS makes the mixture visible. Access addresses follow generic templates such as
ip185-28-52-010.fastnet.itandwixan-205-150.fastnet.it(the wireless-access pool), hotspot addresses appear ashtspt-210-005, while named machines likesole.fastnet.itandtojil.fastnet.itare the provider's own servers. - Unallocated space is parked as
unused.fastnet.it.
Notable
- Everything the AS announces sits inside Fastnet's own allocations (
195.96.192.0/19,185.28.52.0/22and an IPv6 /32). There is no third-party or brokered address space here. - A regional operator: roughly nine thousand IPv4 addresses, concentrated in one Italian region rather than spread nationally, so geolocation to the Marche is usually sound.
- The space is genuinely mixed — consumer access, wireless hotspots, business circuits and hosted servers all live in the same allocations — so a single label fits it poorly. Expect both eyeball and server traffic from this AS.

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: 445 networks and 1,817 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. 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.
