Independent profile snapshot

This extended snapshot summarises how the provider presents itself in the UK market. It supplements the dataset-led summary above.

Broadband for Rural Kent (B4RK) is a Faversham-based community-focused altnet ISP delivering ultrafast full fibre (FTTP), fixed wireless access (FWA), high-gain 4G, leased lines and point-to-point wireless links to digitally isolated villages and businesses across rural Kent. Registered as Broadband for Rural Kent Ltd (Companies House 12914440) with its office at Foxhill Stud, Fox Lane, Boughton-under-Blean, Faversham ME13 9PF, and led by Director Tim Higgs, the operator models itself on B4RN's community-centric build strategy. B4RK launched its first FTTP network in the Oversland hamlet in 2021 after Openreach quoted the community almost £230,000 for fibre, and has stated an ambition to cover 30,000 rural premises with gigabit-capable fibre by 2025/2026. Residential home fibre packages start at £30 per month for 100Mbps down and go up to 900Mbps symmetric; multi-gigabit business services up to 10Gbps are available on request, plus Openreach FTTP resale for areas beyond the alt-network. B4RK is a RIPE Local Internet Registry and is Ofcom-compliant.
