Summary
Sure (Guernsey) Limited
isp residential mobile legacy
Sure (SURE-INTERNATIONAL-LIMITED) is the incumbent telecoms operator of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, descended from Cable & Wireless's island businesses and now owned by Bahrain's Batelco group.
What it's used for
- Retail fixed broadband and mobile service across Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man. The rDNS is unusually legible about this: subscriber addresses carry
bbdIP-ADDR.network.sure.com(broadband),bbdjIP-ADDR.network.sure.com(the Jersey pools),bbd_iom_IP-ADDR.network.sure.com(Isle of Man) andmblIP-ADDR.network.sure.com(mobile). - A minority of the space is business connectivity, where named customer hosts appear directly (for example an Isle of Man company's mail and remote-access hosts inside
62.68.188.0/22).
Notable
- Roughly 69,000 IPv4 addresses over about 70 prefixes, with a wide peering footprint for an island carrier — Sure also runs subsea and satellite capacity into small territories, and the AS number dates from the Cable & Wireless era (the RIPE contact objects still carry
CWGGhandles). - Every announced block is registered to Sure itself under
GG-SURE-GUERNSEY-*netnames, registered variously to Guernsey and Jersey. The address space is genuinely islands-based, not a scattered inventory.
Interesting
- Sure's territory is far larger than the Channel Islands: the group has long held the telecoms licences for the South Atlantic islands, so the same brand serves communities with a few hundred customers apiece.

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 1,768 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.
