Before You Apply

  • You must have already completed a service request through Get B4RN – if you haven’t already done so, please do that now, then return to this page once you are near your connection date.

  • You must be near your connection date – i.e. your garden dig is done and your house kit installed. If this hasn’t happened, contact your local volunteer group (some links to them can be found here).

  • Connect+ requests must be made and approved before your B4RN service is made live.

  • You must be in service with another supplier and, in taking Connect+, you are agreeing to take a B4RN service as an additional service.

Introducing Connect+

Connect+ is a way for people to get connected to B4RN’s gigabit full fibre broadband without having to wait for their existing provider’s deal to end.

If you’re stuck in a contract that has 24 months or less to run, you can get B4RN service for only a £5 monthly tariff until your other deal runs out. (Remember: a £60 one-off connection fee still applies.) By agreeing to take B4RN as an additional service you can benefit from our hyperfast speeds whilst seeing your existing contract out with your old provider. This may avoid early exit fees having to be paid as a lump sum or if you have a care alarm or other devices which require a traditional landline service, it may give you additional time to replace your devices with IP compatible versions.

Once your existing provider’s contract ends, you’ll move on to your applicable B4RN tariff. It is your responsibility to close your contract with your old supplier at the appropriate time.

Apply for Connect+

If you haven’t yet signed up to request a B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North Ltd) connection, then please do so here. Once you have completed the B4RN connection request form, please return to this page to apply for Connect+.

Connect+ Example

The following example is based on a household on our primary £33/month tariff:

You have 7 months left on your contract with your current broadband provider. You pay them a monthly fee for broadband. With Connect+, we’ll connect you to our 1Gbps full fibre network now (£60 one-off connection fee applies) – you’ll continue to pay your current provider while paying B4RN just £5/month. At the end of those 7 months you’ll move on to your applicable B4RN tariff.

Stories from out in the field from our very happy customers

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!
Georgiana, Dentdale
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.
Heather Whalley, Farmer
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!
Customer in Norfolk
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.

It’s like going from a Ford Anglia to a jet engine!
