Leased Lines

What is a internet Leased Line?

An internet Leased Line connects your business directly to the internet using a dedicated fibre connection. Because your connection is not shared over normal telephone lines (as ADSL / Broadband is) you get guaranteed speed, reliability and better security. Because the connection is symmetrical you can upload data at the same speed as you download.

High speeds

When you commission an internet Leased Line you will make two decisions on speed; Firstly how fast you want your connection to run day to day (your throughput) secondly what type of bearer you want (this governs the maximum speed your connection will be able to achieve without further installation). Throughput speeds can be anywhere from 2Mpbs up to 1Gb depending on what you need. If you would like to talk through which speed set up might work best for your business request a consultation.

Guaranteed, consistent speed

If you are using a traditional broadband connection you may have noticed your internet connections slowing down at peak times, or even slowing down at the end of the month if your ISP has a fair usage policy. With a Leased Line you will be the only company using this connection (1:1 contention ratio), giving you guaranteed and consistent speeds both up and downstream. A 10Mbps Leased Line will give you 10Mbps for both upload and download all day, every day.

Improved security

Leased lines create a private connection between you and the network, making your data transfer more secure. This is the technology often used to connect banks and other financial institutions, so a very important consideration if you have mission critical data about your business or customers that you need to keep safe.
