Summary
Bink Group Ltd
hosting transit legacy
BINK is the network of Bink Group Ltd, a UK operator selling hosting, transit and colocation out of Telehouse London, with an open peering policy and sessions at both LINX LON1 and LON2. The group also stands behind Fido.net (FidoNet Registration Services), a long-running UK ISP and hosting brand.
What it's used for
- Server hosting and IP transit. Reverse DNS across the space is server-shaped:
web-22.server.fido.net,bab.server.fido.net,lon-core-gw.access.fido.net, and router interfaces named for the peer they face, in the formas61337.ge.as8282.net. - The AS peers with a large number of networks relative to its address count, which is the signature of a London exchange-connected host rather than an access provider.
Notable
- The larger blocks are the LIR's own allocations (netnames of the form
UK-IPASSETS-plus a date), alongside a handful of legacy UK /24s registered to named British companies and to FidoNet itself, including an anycast DNS /24. These are coherent UK customer and group prefixes, not assembled multi-RIR space. - One name to keep straight: several related entities orbit this network (Bink Group, Bink Networks, Bink Broadband, Fido.net), and prefixes and ASNs are spread across them. The rDNS is the thing that tells you which brand a given address is actually serving.

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: 442 networks and 1,782 prefixes, as published 2026-10-16. 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.
