Broadband for the Rural North (B4RN, read as "BARN") is a community-led project to bring high-speed broadband Internet connectivity to domestic FTTH and business properties in rural Lancashire, Cumbria, (North Pennines), Cheshire, Norfolk & Suffolk in England. It functions as an Internet service provider. The first homes, in Quernmore, were connected in 2012. Others, in Arkholme-with-Cawood, were next. Regardless of line distance and location, properties are offered a true 1Gbit/s (i.e. 1,000 Mbit/s Download and Upload) Point-To-Point Symmetric Fibre-To-The-Home services for every subscriber.
