Buy Shares or Register for Service

Despite government efforts to solve the broadband problem, especially in rural areas without a commercial solution, there simply is not enough money to go round at a time of intensive spending cuts and difficult economic growth forecasts. Therefore, B4RN will issue shares, both to local people and businesses, and others who wish to support a potentially life-changing solution to a global problem.  Shares are £1, minimum investment is £100. Download the Share application form  (or right click and save as)  Foundation members take £1500 of shares and get EIS tax return if they are a taxpayer, free connection fee and free 12 months service.

A 1000 megabit per second symmetrical (same speeds up as well as down) futureproof fibre to the home connection costs £30 a month, with £150 connection fee. (VAT inclusive)

Rural broadband in the UK is often estimated as costing anywhere up to £10,000 per property, and often more. However, that is using the traditional telco (telecommunications company) model; it is not the cost when you harness the skills and determination of a close-knit community such as ours.

This network model can connect every home in our parishes, however remote or distant from other properties. Without exceptions.

You do not need to buy shares to take a service from B4RN, but the more people who do the sooner it will be built. B4RN is not raising money from the public purse, thus avoiding regulation and delays.
