B4RN features in a dedicated handbook made by the European Commission to help with the rollout of broadband into remote areas.

The ‘Broadband Handbook‘ has case studies from the UK and other countries to help rural policy makers and broadband project managers.

The 46 page document is intended to be a useful starting point for anybody considering their own network.

Part one details why investment should be made in rural and remote areas; outlines the technological solutions; and details funding options.

Part two is examples of good practice where remote communities have solved the issue of broadband connectivity, including B4RN.

One residential customer in Over Kellet used to know whether it was worth firing up her computer by looking out of her front window to see what the weather was doing with her telephone line.

We juggle two jobs from home, and it’s just been a game-changer. Just sign up! It’s the best internet service I’ve ever received, and I’ve moved a thousand times!

It has allowed us to improve our farm business through the implementation of Wi-Fi heat detection ankle bands on our herd, and thus improving our business productivity.

OMG it is amazing! I don’t want to go back to London, which was faster than here, but not now! Just to say a BIG THANK YOU to all you guys, what a great thing you are doing. I’m shocked not everyone is signing up!

After lambing 1300 ewes a good film is what I want to watch and because we have B4RN that is no problem. Just enables me and my family to get on.
