Autonomous system
AS8607 TIMICO United Kingdom
Hosting RIPE Cable/DSL/ISP
Summary
Digital Space Group (formerly Timico)
isp enterprise hosting legacy
TIMICO — now Digital Space Group Limited, a UK managed-services and business-connectivity provider headquartered in Newark-on-Trent. The Timico brand was retired in 2021 but survives in the rDNS and the RIPE handle.
What it's used for
- Business internet access and managed IT: fibre and DSL broadband, Ethernet, MPLS, VoIP and hosting sold to corporate and public-sector customers. Around 205,000 IPv4 addresses across ~20 prefixes, with a healthy 30-plus BGP neighbours.
- Customer space is almost uniformly static:
IP-DASHED.static.as8607.netandIP-DASHED.static.dsl.as8607.net. There are no dynamic or PPPoE-style pools anywhere in the sampled rDNS — the signature of an ISP that assigns fixed addresses to business sites, not a consumer eyeball network. - Core infrastructure is named under
timico.net(ndc-core1.uk.timico.net,tch-edge.uk.timico.net), including mail, DNS and RADIUS.
Notable
- The address space is a museum of acquired UK ISPs. Timico bought up around nine smaller companies, and each one's rDNS is still live in its old block:
newnet.co.uk(with LLU switch and gateway names),power.net.uk,keme.net,twang.net,iuk.net,ukisp.netandsysonline.net. - Individual customer domains surface directly in the space too — a manufacturer and other named firms resolve on the DSL blocks. That is what a B2B access network looks like from the outside.
Interesting
no-dns-yet.timico.netappears across an entire /21. It is an honest default: space allocated and routed but not yet handed to a customer.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
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 1,768 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.
