Are fibre leased lines right for your business?
You want a premium internet connection. One that makes it easy for your remote workers or office staff to access your systems and servers at the same time.
Your business doesn’t have the time to manage any downtime (unexpected or scheduled) because you’re working at a rapid pace, trying to manage customer expectations.
Fibre leased lines could help your business if you need fast internet speeds to increase productivity or a reliable connection to overcome your rural location.
Many people say that fibre leased lines are the only way to guarantee long-lasting, premium internet connectivity.
Most of the time, businesses connect to the internet through either Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) or Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) connections. However, fibre leased lines are different because they are set up as a private internet connection leading directly into your business. They promise high-performance connections, and you will benefit from symmetrical bandwidth, meaning you will never have to choose between your upload or download speeds. They are great for companies that upload lots of files, use videoconferencing, or depend on cloud-based services.
As leased lines are installed directly into your premises, you won’t have to share your connection with anyone else. For tasks that need to handle a lot of data, this guarantees that your performance stays the same and connectivity remains strong.
We know that there are many benefits of leased lines including:
- Reliable, consistently high performance
- Symmetrical bandwidth
- Data security and privacy
- Scalability
As a leased line provider, we can talk to you in more detail about whether they are a good fit for your business. We’ll talk about what options are out there to improve your internet connectivity and give you all the information you need to present a business case for leased lines.
If it is right for you, we’ll manage the installation, configuration and activation of your leased lines out of hours, so any downtime does not impact your business.
Are fibre leased lines right for your business?
While they are always a premium option, leased lines for businesses are not always the best solution.
Leased lines are a significant investment, and we always recommend that you consider your long-term plans before making your final decision. For example, will you be planning an office relocation in the near future, or will you be expanding your premises or changing the way you work?
Typically, we only recommend leased line infrastructures for businesses that rely upon fast internet connections in order to be productive. If you require a constant bandwidth because you rely on hosted applications, or you need a premium connection to support your Virtual Private Network (VPN), then this could be an effective solution.

That’s why we take the time to discuss your options with you, so you feel confident that you’re making the right decision.
