Business Leased Lines

A dedicated high speed leased line gives you symmetrical speed e.g. 200MB up and down, with a Service Level Agreement to ensure its always up and running and a range of carriers and contract lengths to choose from.

What is a Leased Line?

A leased line is a dedicated, fixed-bandwidth, symmetric data connection for your Internet traffic.

Leased Lines are Symmetric and Fast

This means they can upload data at the same fast speed at which they can download. They can also come at faster speeds such as 100MB to 1GB.

A leased line is useful to achieve the following:

• Remote Working, when accessing work PC’s desktops from home
• Transferring large files
• Backing up data using online services to the cloud
• Running servers at your office
• Using a cloud phone system
• Connecting multiple sites together on a single network

Leased Lines are Dedicated

Leased lines are a dedicated connection to the Internet. This means that the bandwidth you need has been reserved solely for your use on your connection. Unlike FTTC, ADSL and SOGEA Internet connections, the bandwidth available does not fall at peak times, when other customers of the same ISP try to use their connections at the same time as you.

How long does Leased line installation take?

Leased line connections need a physical cable connecting your business premise to the carriers network.

The quickest a leased line can be installed is one month, usually in a location where there are already existing connections and conduits, such as a newly build business park.

On placing your order, you will be allocated a site inspection visit to see what issues might arise from installing the connection. Additional fees may then be placed on the connection, however at this point the order can be cancelled.

Sometimes wayleave might be required. This is where access for the cable is required through someone else’s land or a landlord owned building. In these situation, if an application goes to wayleave, it can take a very long time, as legal proceedings might need to take place.

Leased Lines SLA

All leased lines come with a Service Level Agreement. This means your leased line is monitored 24/7 and any issues reported directly to the carrier. Fixed response times are provided to ensure any connection issues are resolved rapidly.
