A brilliant idea to get the local community involved in installing our own high-speed broadband. The after-sales and technical helpline are good, and most issues are fixed in an acceptable timescale.... See more

B4RN the service for rural communities
B4RN has brought ultra-fast broadband to rural areas ignored by the large broadband providers.I have experienced no unscheduled loss of service in the 7+yrs that the service has been available. Locally when a farmer has inadvertantly damaged the cable B4RN engineers have sorted the problem out within hours rather than the days and weeks that the large providers take. B4RN is vital for rural communities.

Real people at the end of a phone!!!!
Exceptional service from an ISP
Brilliant service from an ISP that has directly responded to specific requests from me to adapt its service to meet my needs with personal technical support, all for free. The synchronous upload/download @1Gbps for the price is in my knowledge unmatched.B4RN does however need to remind customers in its service area of the unique form of its package if it is not to lose out to competing offers just on price; not all fibre is equal.
B4RN Is The Gold Standard In Superfast Broadband
From the very start with working within the neighbourhood to get vouchers through to the first switch on, B4RN has been supportive, encouraging and professional. Through the build, Team B4RN worked swiftly and tidily, causing very little disruption even when roads and footpaths had to be utilised for the fibre feed, unlike Fibrus which is chaos personified. Since the switch on, the service has run faultlessly. The one hiccough was when a neighbour, whose land our fibre ran via a way leave, put a spade through the fibre planting a tree. B4RN was out within 24 hours to replace and connect. Stunning service. B4RN is the gold standard in full, fast fibre installation.

Efficient, professional service with a real person explaining everything.
Quick, efficient and personal service. The technician was patient as I am an older woman and not so computer savvy as a younger generation. He was able to identify the problem and fix it in a short time. We were amazed how he knew how many devices we were using and was able to detect the problem quite quickly.
Great service
