B4RN provides us with exceptional broadband speeds.
B4RN provides us with exceptional broadband speeds. When something goes wrong they fix it quickly.
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

Our community broadband is first class and we feel confident in the service we get from B4RN. We have our VOIP service as well and enjoy the ability to call mobiles and international calls as part of the package.

It may be our range extenders but we get an awful lot of signal drop out that we didn't get with BT

Fantastic coverage and network
Fantastic coverage and network, and very reasonable.
Cant recommend enough, superb!
Great team of people who are local and understand the challenges for rural communities.
Product is superb great speeds and reliable. I work from home and this is a game changer for me. Speed and connectivity is essential and it’s brilliant. Plus when there are any tech issues, calls and solutions are sorted quickly.
Forgotten what B4RN is
The first thing to say is that we hardly think about B4RN at all, but this is really a complement as it indicates that service is (near) 'always-on' and problem-free. I recall a couple of notifications (over 3 years) of outages for upgrades or whatever but these are planned for night-time and have little impact. I'm not harassed with upsell attempts but there is an occasional emailed news story which is of interest. There's been a price increase in the 3-4 years we've had service but I'm still highly satisfied.
Thank God for B4RN
Thank God for B4RN! We could not survive here in rural Cumbria without reliable and strong Wi-Fi. B4RN - thank you so much for your service.

Rock solid
Rock solid, reasonably priced, high specification Internet access.
We’ve been on B4RN for about 10 years; you don’t realise just how good it is until you go on holiday somewhere else, and it’s like stepping back in time!
Excellent service to all properties
B4RN live up to their promise to supply gigabit broadband to every property requiring it. Once installed, customer service has been excellent - and it is so good to talk to people who really can help resolve any problems that might arise.
Good service and very fast…
Good service and very fast communication. So well done. Just a query. Often when I switch on,[probably 4 out of 6 times ] the television goes into testing mode and one has to wait whilst checks complete. Is this normal. This definitely not a complaint, but if I’m doing something to trigger this, I would be grateful for advice as to how to stop it.
Superb service and customer support.
