Our leased lines provide private connections at the highest level of performance. Bandwidth is not shared with anyone else, therefore speeds are consistent and guaranteed. As a result, you benefit from a connection that won’t slow down your business.
Internet leased lines: A buyer’s guide
Internet leased lines can benefit a range of businesses and organisations. Offices, schools, universities and other types of environments can benefit from having a private internet network that will maintain a high performance, and is inaccessible to the wider public.
As one of the fastest and most secure ways of connecting to the internet, internet leased lines make a great investment for your business, especially if your operations are internet-critical.
Internet leased lines provide a symmetric connection, which means your upload and download speeds are parallel, for maximum performance. Commercial broadband providers typically provide higher download speeds than upload speeds, which might not be the best solution for a business that needs to upload more data than it downloads.
Some of the benefits of internet leased lines include:
- A private internet connection that can’t be accessed by anyone else.
- Consistent, guaranteed speeds.
- Keep your business online with high bandwidths.
Advantages of internet leased lines over broadband for internet connectivity
What does an internet leased line provide compared to your typical broadband provider? Understanding the advantages could help you make a better connection choice for your business.
Some of the advantages of internet leased lines over broadband for internet connectivity include:
Service
Internet leased lines provide an exceptional service, providing a tailored solution for your business needs. Unlike commercial broadband providers, you get a more dedicated service, with 24/7 support to provide you with help when you need it.
Your service level agreement with your leased line providers will guarantee you a particular level service which means that if your service falls below the guaranteed expectation, you can raise support requests to get it rapidly sorted out.
Connection
With business fibre leased line solutions, you get the benefit of a private connection – meaning you’re not sharing your network with anyone else. A dedicated fibre ethernet connection reduces the risk of downtime and can boost your security too.
Bandwidth / internet speeds
Commercial broadband providers can set broadband speeds within a range, with the download speed typically much higher than the upload speed. With internet leased lines, you benefit from high-performing connection speeds for both uploads and downloads, with a consistent connection you won’t have to share with anyone else.
Cost
The cost of an internet leased line will vary depending on the requirements of your business. The benefits of a leased line make it cost-effective and reliable. You can scale your service up and down depending on your business’ needs.
FTTP vs Leased Lines
An FTTP (Fibre To The Premises) might sound similar to a leased line, but there are some differences. With a leased line, you have your own fibre optic connection, bypassing the infrastructure that’s shared on a FTTP line. They both provide a fibre connection, but a leased dedicated line provides a seamless and private connection to the internet.

Is DSL a leased line?
A DSL connection is known as a ‘contended’ service, and is shared by others, meaning you could experience fluctuations in connection. A leased line, however, is uncontended and symmetrical, providing an exclusive connection, with equal upload and download speeds.
