Summary
GTT Communications (Interoute)
transit backbone datacenter
Formerly Interoute's network (INTEROUTE), now operated by GTT Communications after GTT acquired Interoute in 2018. Interoute ran one of Europe's largest fiber and cloud/data center platforms; GTT is a global Tier-1 network and transit provider.
What it's used for
- IP transit, enterprise connectivity, and the colocation, data center, and virtual-data-center services inherited from Interoute across Europe.
Notable
- An IP here identifies GTT/Interoute as the host or carrier, not the operator of whatever runs on it.
- Primarily a network service provider; hosting here is the enterprise cloud and colocation footprint rather than mass-market VPS.
Interesting
- The 2018 Interoute acquisition (~$2.3B) added roughly 15 data centers and 72,000 km of lit fiber to GTT's network.

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 1,775 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.
