About this network

DIALNET-UK is held by Redcentric Solutions Ltd, a UK managed services provider headquartered in Harrogate. The handle is a survivor of the network's dial-up-era origins; the business today sells managed connectivity, cloud and hosting to enterprises and the public sector.

What it's used for

• Managed WAN and internet access for Redcentric's business and public-sector customers, alongside addressing for its own data centres and hosted platforms.
• Not a consumer broadband network despite the DIALNET name.

Notable

• Redcentric grew largely by acquisition (it was demerged from Redstone in 2013 and absorbed several other UK managed-service businesses), so the AS carries address space and customer estates inherited from predecessor networks.
• The DIALNET-UK handle is the clearest evidence of the network's lineage: an early UK dial-up ISP identity that survived every rebrand and acquisition on the way to today's managed-services business.
