Connect+ - Get B4RN Early

Service Status

Are you already with another provider?

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.

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 for the monthly service fee. At the end of those 7 months you’ll move on to your applicable B4RN tariff.

Before You Apply

  • Already requested B4RN?
    You must have submitted a service request via Get B4RN. If not, please do that first and come back when your connection is nearly ready.

  • Near your connection date?
    Your garden dig should be complete, and your house kit installed, this is when you should apply. If not, check in with your local volunteer team or call us.

  • Apply before going live
    You must apply for Connect+ before your B4RN service is switched on.

  • Still with another provider?
    You must still be in contract with another broadband supplier, with less than 24 months left on your contract. Connect+ is an extra service running alongside your existing one

  • One-off connection fee

    Remember, you'll still have to pay your one-off £60 connection fee

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!

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.
