About this network

BACKBONE-CONNECT is operated by Backbone Connect Limited.

What it's used for

• The address space carries residential broadband traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS entries such as host-0-161-253-159.as4.ldn.uk.sharedband.net and host-254-162-253-159.as3.arqiva-wifi.sharedband.net, which reference Sharedband and Arqiva Wi-Fi access networks.
• The AS announces 14,080 IPv4 addresses across 13 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix, while maintaining 76 observed neighbours; this ratio of moderate address space to high peering density is characteristic of a UK access provider aggregating traffic from multiple upstreams.
• Traffic originates from cable and DSL subscribers in the United Kingdom, consistent with the operator's role as a regional ISP providing last-mile connectivity.

Notable

• Registrants are split between Backbone Connect Limited and Hybrid Access Technologies Limited (Sharedband), with netnames like UK-BACKBONECONNECT-20120706 and UK-SHAREDBAND-UK-20120615 reflecting the operator's acquisition of Sharedband assets.
• The inventory consists of a mix of /21, /22, /23, and /24 blocks, all located in the United Kingdom, with no significant anomalies in the prefix structure.
