Welcome to the Levens B4RN project
|
Making hyper-fast internet connections available in Levens is a community project spearheaded by a local group of volunteers. Their aim is to achieve a village-wide rollout of B4RN's gigabit internet connections to future-proof villagers' online experience.
B4RN (Broadband for [4] the Rural North) is a professionally designed fibre optic broadband network. They are a registered non-profit community benefit society and offer 1000Mbps FTTP (fibre to the property) broadband to every property in their coverage area costing households just £30 per month.

Route progress + do you know which route you are on?
|
Starting in early 2021, the rollout of B4RN continues in earnest in Levens. Some properties will have infrastructure installed via surrounding fields, but in more central areas B4RN will employ a trenching technique through pavements, verges, and roads, using defined routes that will make an FTTP (fibre to the property) broadband connection possible to every resident in the village.
Each route has a designated Levens village volunteer coordinator who has taken on the task of liaising with each household who has signed up. It is the household's responsibility to install ducting from the boundary into their house. The coordinator will advise you on what is required to achieve this. |

What else do I need to know?
*2Mbps is an accurate representation of what some (outlying) households in Levens Parish can currently achieve. The average within much of the centre of the village is only ~30Mbps.
