You can always judge the quality of a company by how it deals with problems. We have only had one issue - not b4rns fault, a builder cut through the fibre near us. Within a day, b4rn had sent an engineer and the problem was fixed.
excellent internet speed
excellent internet speed, very helpful office staff and engineers.
Excellent help whenever an issue arises
Reliable at speed
I find B4rn to be a reliable service and fast broadband service however on the odd occasion when service has not performed as well as expected the support staff at more than competent in resolving issues including downstream issues with my mesh system.
From introduction on to use.
From introduction to insallation and on through use help advice and support was always available. The weekly Zoom meetings ensure everyone can keep up to date.

Our small villages installed a B4RN Network…
Our small villages were one of the first to install a B4RN network about 10 years ago. The main reason for this was to improve an existing poor internet provision provided by the BT network.
Once installed and running it provided a reliable ultra high speed broadband service for a reasonable cost.
Most people in our villages quickly became B4RN customers.
If there is a problem with the service customers can contact the B4RN help desk for a quick solution. No hours of delay listening to a chatbot.
Despite growing larger it still provides a friendly personal service which is hard to beat.
Well done B4RN!
Excellent connectivity
Excellent connectivity, but when I needed to discuss a connection and the position of cabling I couldn't find the answer and it was impossible to find anyone to speak with. In the end we dug the field to relay water pipes on a wing and a prayer
Uninterrupted rapid broadband service…
Uninterrupted rapid broadband service since taking the connection 6 years ago.

Amazing speeds
Amazing speeds, High reliability, Fast call out for problems. A wonderful community project that has succeeded and now growing fast.
From very poor WiFi for many years to consistently excellent!
From very poor WiFi for many years, Barn has provided us with consistently excellent connection. We even bought a SKY Glass TV because we are so confident of the service. We also wanted to keep our home phone connection and we managed to achieve that through Barn! Please keep up the good work!
Excellent efficient service
Excellent efficient service - very responsive to issues. The broadband speed is fanatastic.
The changeover was seamless
The changeover was seamless , very professional engineers and helpful service staff. Much better internet connection for Mobile and TV and working from home. No problems since it was set up. Much cheaper for me than BT. Thank you so much!
Engineer arrived promptly and sorted…
Engineer arrived promptly and sorted the fibre broadband problem quickly. Mice had chewed the fibre inside the wall. Very impressed with the skill and diligence fixing the problem so quickly.
B4RN really has been so much better…
B4RN really has been so much better than other internet providers (and obviously about 5,000,000 x better than BT). When we set up the connection it didn't work on day one. I emailed B4RN on Saturday; the local engineer replied on Sunday (!) and came to fix it on Monday at 9am. Can you imagine BT responding like this.
Not much to tell as everything is…
Not much to tell as everything is ok,never have any problems.
Absolutely thrilled to be connected to…
Absolutely thrilled to be connected to B4RN. The internet connection is faultless (so far!), everything you could wish for to run a business in a rural area. The price is very reasonable. Installation was all very straightforward, great communication. 100% recommend to anyone tempted, you won't regret it.
Loses signal constantly
Loses signal constantly. Complained numerous times. Answer always the same. Buy, yet another, signal booster.
