Leased Lines
What are leased lines?
Leased lines are physical line connections that allow a company to have its own circuit between one or more other locations. It is a private circuit (used only by the purchaser) and can also be known as a data line or dedicated internet line. Leased lines can be used for telephone, internet or other data communication services
Why you should consider a leased line
If you run a bandwidth hungry business or require instant communication for your services and have large amounts of data to transmit, then a leased line is for you.
Benefits of leased lines
- Leased lines provide the same speeds for uploading and downloading data, meaning that they are symmetrical, unlike ADSL
- Different line speeds (bandwidths) are available so that you can select the upload and download speeds you need for your business
- No slowing down at peak times because only your company uses the line; it is not shared with other companies
- Leased lines generally have lower latency (meaning instant response) than other circuits, owing to the lack of switching required
What does a leased line cost?
Gigabit Voucher Scheme
Some ISPs can provide internet speeds of 1000Mbps or 1Gbps so it’s a big leap forward in connection speeds that could benefit you and your business into the future.
The UK Government has launched the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme offering grants of up to £3,000 to cover the cost of installation. This is available to small to medium enterprises in the UK.
What is worth noting is that 98% of the time the grant fully covers the installation, so in effect the installation is free. Gigabit-capable broadband connections offer the fastest and most reliable speeds available, and the UK Government is committed to a vision of a digitally connected Britain.
