Hyper Fast Broadband
Everybody in the Duddon Valley can have internet connection speeds of 1000Mbps. Guaranteed.
B4RN is coming! Don’t miss out on Gigabit (1000Mbps) broadband for Duddon, Dunnerdale and Seathwaite.

Why B4RN?
Openreach has no plans to upgrade its fibre in the Duddon valley but B4RN’s mission is to deliver hyperfast Broadband to every property in our area.

How does it work?
Government funding is available for our area and every home or business that signs up to B4RN will raise thousands of pounds for the Duddon project. There is no commitment or obligation at this stage.

By the Community, for the Community
B4RN is owned by its members, most of whom are customers. Local volunteers play a key part in planning the network, wayleaves, and providing access to land.
