What makes B4RN a breath of fresh air?

At 1000Mbps (1Gbps) our standard gigabit service is many (many) times faster than our average competitor.

This means you get to easily stream all your favourite entertainment and use multiple devices hassle free.

And because our fibre is underground not hung up on poles, it means you get continuous service whatever the weather.
