Summary
Bahnhof
isp residential eyeball fiber
Bahnhof is a Swedish internet service provider, one of the country's older independent ISPs, serving homes and businesses primarily over fibre.
What it's used for
- Residential fibre broadband for Swedish households, largely delivered over open municipal/city fibre networks, plus business connectivity and hosting.
Notable
- Largely an "eyeball" network: many addresses are home subscriber connections rather than servers, though Bahnhof also runs data-centre and colocation operations.
- A mid-sized independent competing against the incumbents (Telia, Telenor) in the Swedish market.
Interesting
- Bahnhof is well known for its strong stance on privacy and data-retention resistance, and once hosted infrastructure in a former nuclear bunker in Stockholm ("Pionen").

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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
