What is a leased line?

A leased line is a dedicated internet connection for business that can provide symmetrical speeds, lower latency, stronger service levels and uncontended bandwidth compared with standard broadband services.

What is the difference between a leased line and FTTP?

FTTP is full fibre broadband that can offer fast speeds at a lower cost, while a leased line is a dedicated uncontended connection with symmetrical performance and stronger SLA options.

Is a leased line good for VoIP and Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Leased lines are well suited to VoIP, Microsoft Teams, 3CX, cloud applications and sites where low latency and stable performance are important.

Who should consider a leased line?

Leased lines are often a strong fit for larger offices, multi-site businesses, customer-facing operations and organisations that rely heavily on cloud services, voice traffic and dependable connectivity.

What matters

Choose a solution that fits your business

Dedicated business connectivity for organisations that need consistent upload and download capacity and reliable performance.

Symmetrical bandwidth

A leased line is designed for dedicated business connectivity with symmetrical bandwidth options. Delivery and pricing depend on the site, access provider and any construction work.

Site connectivity

Request a site-specific survey and written clarification of installation lead time, service levels, router ownership and any excess construction charges.

Resilience planning

Consider diverse routing or a separate backup service where loss of connectivity would stop critical operations.

Installation management

Ask for a written proposal that sets out the scope, any dependencies and the practical steps needed before changing services.

Dedicated leased line procurement

Assess your requirements

A leased line offers dedicated symmetrical connectivity, but delivery depends on the route, site access and any civil works. Obtain an address-specific survey and realistic lead-time estimate.

Compare the detail, not just the price

Compare committed bandwidth, service level commitments, repair arrangements, resilience, IP addressing and contract term. Ask whether construction or excess charges may apply.

Plan implementation and continuity

Design failover, firewall handoff and any required routing before the installation date, and test resilience during commissioning.
