Fantastic Service

I just want to say a huge thank you to all the team at B4RN for getting my internet back on the day after reporting an outage on a Sunday. We were 3 properties down and the team were straight on it. Fantastic service as ever.

Friendly and competent

Friendly helpful service from both the engineers and their colleague in the office. The engineers will have to come back tomorrow to complete the job but in the meantime I am back online! A hot job as they had to mend cables in a ploughed field and then dig deep holes to put them in.

Having been with B4rn for 3 years I…

Having been with B4rn for 3 years I feel I should leave a review. We are out in rural Norfolk and have had the pleasure of being a customer of B4rn since we moved in.

Our mighty 1gb download and 1gb upload has been hassle free the whole time, these are speeds you would expect in a city not a leafy village nestled amongst the farmers fields of Norfolk!

With customer service a 5 star hotel would be struggling to match! This is said with first hand experience as I took a hedge trimmer to the feed coming into our property, sorry guys! After a quick call to the support team we had our local engineer Tom present at our address within 12hrs! Tom would have been with us the same day if it hadn’t been so late.

Repair was made quickly with such professionalism by Tom. Tom was happy to explain everything as he went about completing the job too, really is fascinating stuff!

We cannot thank B4rn, the team and Tom enough. We can genuinely recommend B4rn to any and all. Speed, customer service and pace all 10/10.

Thanks again Tom

Best wishes

As always

As always, B4RN was prompt, courteous and efficient ... the sort of service no one expects these days. The problem was solved within 10 minutes. Brilliant!

Ultrafast in every way

Fast, helpful pleasant expert helpdesk responses to any problems. Top rated customer service.
Rare faults traced and fixed speedily.
Ultra-reliable underground ultrafast symmetrical service network ducted to premises.
Community involvement and any surplus (non-profit) generated goes back to the community.
Worth every penny of the moderate annual fee
