For many businesses, a 100Mb leased line is the perfect starting point: affordable, reliable and more than capable of handling cloud services, VoIP, video calls and day-to-day operations. But what happens when your team grows, your data usage increases, or your business starts scaling faster than expected?
That’s where a 1Gb bearer makes all the difference.
What Is a 1Gb Bearer?
When you take out a 100Mb leased line, in most cases it’s delivered over a 1Gb bearer. That means the physical fibre circuit installed to your site is capable of supporting up to 1Gb of bandwidth — but you’re only paying for 100Mb today.
Think of it as reserving a motorway with five lanes, but only opening one. As your needs grow, you can simply “unlock” more lanes without laying new cabling or waiting weeks for fresh installation.
Why Does This Matter for UK Businesses?
-
Cost savings today – 100Mb is cheaper month-to-month than jumping straight to 1Gb.
-
Instant scalability – Upgrade to 200Mb, 500Mb or 1Gb without downtime.
-
Future-proofing – As data demands grow, you’re ready to expand.
-
No fresh installs – Avoid the time and cost of new infrastructure later.
With a 1Gb bearer, your leased line grows with your business.
