B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North Ltd) Can Help

B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North Ltd) has a Social Tariff? For full fibre gigabit (1,000Mbps) broadband you could be entitled to a reduced payment of £15/month (usually £33/month).

Customers can apply for the Social Tariff before they are connected, or when they are already taking service. Social Tariff customers must provide B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North Ltd) with a copy of a Council Tax bill which shows that they are receiving Council Tax Support (formerly “Council Tax Benefit”).

Once a customer is on the Social Tariff, it is their responsibility to inform B4RN if their circumstances change, and they no longer qualify. B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North Ltd) will check eligibility with customers annually, although we reserve the right to check more frequently if we see fit.
