At 1000Mbps (1Gbps) B4RN's standard gigabit service is far faster than most of us can use but rest assured that you'll have a future proof connection.
B4RN don’t use overhead copper wires
– their fibre ducts are buried. Water ingress doesn’t affect our fibre and nor do high winds.
An amazing service at an unbeatable price. You can even dispense with your landline and use your B4RN connection for calls (third party call charges apply).
