5 Benefits of a Leased Line

So now that you have an idea of what a leased line is, let’s look at some of the benefits it has over some of the other connectivity options.

1. Reliability

Leased lines are private connections which makes them very reliable as they are not shared with other users or businesses. This means that there is a lot less chance of interference or network congestion, which can lead to downtime.

2. Security

Leased lines provide a secure connection so you can go on to enjoy your work-life balance without losing sleep over sensitive data. It also comes in handy for organisations that need to transmit sensitive data.

3. Guaranteed Bandwidth

Enjoy a fixed amount of bandwidth that is dedicated to your business. This means that you have a guaranteed amount of bandwidth available at all times. This applies to both download and upload speeds.

4. Scalability

You can upgrade a leased line to accommodate increased bandwidth requirements. This means that businesses can start with lower speeds and increase it as their needs grow, without having to change the physical connection.

5. Service level agreements (SLAs)

Leased lines come with SLAs that guarantee certain levels of performance, uptime, and response times. This means that the service provider is obligated to resolve any issues that may arise within a certain time frame.

Well, we’ve got answers

Yes, you do! They are the ultimate in internet access luxury. Leased lines offer faster upload and download speed, better connectivity, symmetrical speeds and greater reliability.

A leased line creates a dedicated data connection between a business premise and the local exchange. The word ‘leased’ refers to the connection rented by the Internet Service Provider directly to a business. It needs to be uncontended, point to point, and symmetrical

Leased lines can be used for Internet, telephone, or data communication services.
You can use them for internet access, running Voice over IP for all your telephony needs, linking office PCs in different locations, and enabling remote workers to log in and work from home.

The lead time across the UK from any provider is 65-75 working days on average. If all goes according to plan and no additional work is required, this period is easily achievable.

Yes, there is an SLA. All customers can expect a 100% target service level agreement. We have an SLA of 1/2 hour response and a 4-hour fix which is the highest in the industry!

Yes. We offer a fully managed service. This also takes into account the management of the CPE and constant monitoring of the circuit itself.
