Social Tariff

B4RN Can Help

B4RN (Broadband for the Rural North Ltd) has a Social Tariff. You could be entitled to a reduced payment of £15/month (usually £33/month) if you are in receipt of Council Tax Support (formerly “Council Tax Benefit”). Please note that council tax single person discount and student exemption do not qualify for our social tariff. There is no reduction in service speed or support levels for our Social tariff customers who receive the same full-fibre gigabit (1,000Mbps) broadband service our other customers receive.

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.

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.
