Good rural fibre network
Persevered to create a fibre to property network in my rural area, thus increasing my download speeds by a factor of 10 and upload by much more. Good technical help too when needed. Reasonable value for the service offered.
Good communication
Good communication about disruptions to service, which have been few. However, the strength of the signal leaves a lot to be desired. It can be nonexistent at times in some parts of the house.
B4RN The best fibre solution for rural Cumbria
Living in a remote rural community my options for high speed internet were limited. BT speeds were 5Mbps or less and the service was unreliable. I tried StarLink with multiple 4G routers as backups. While this provided me with a stable and reasonable fast link to the outside world I was paying around £200 per month. B4RN has been a god send for the business, the installation was quick and straight forward, I opted for two fibre lines entering the property at opposite ends of the building. Machines that are connected to the B4RN router with an RJ45 cable have download speeds between 900 and 950Mbps and upload speeds of between 650 and 700Mbps. Devices connecting to the router via wifi receive download speeds between 850 and 900Mbps and upload speeds between 800 and 850Mbps. During the years using B4RN I can only remember one instance of unscheduled downtime when someone put a JCB bucket through the fibre, but this was fixed within a couple of hours. In terms of cost B4RN has proven to be very cost effective with each of my fibre connections costing just £30 each per month, so cutting my previous monthly bill by more than 50% for a much better service. I would definitely recommend B4RN.

So far excellent. When the line fell it was back on again before we knew it and notification sent.
It works, don't fix it!!!
4Mb to 1Gb in a very rural location!
What a relief it was to go from 4Mb to a 1Gb connection, no more waiting for things to load!
The whole experience with B4RN was good from start to finish and the two occasions I did have to call them I was pleasantly surprised to talk to a knowledgeable person who sorted my problems very efficiently.
I think the most impressive part was the "can do" approach to all difficulties, which I believe is the key to their success.
