Leased Line

We compare leased line options to find the right choice for your specific location. We also compare leased lines to alternative connection technologies such as FTTC, EFM over Copper, FTTP, G.Fast, 4G, 5G and Fixed Wireless.

It seems hard to believe, but we've now published over 1300 articles about UK leased lines, broadband network upgrades and related tech news. 

We'd like to thank all our readers, as well as our talented editorial team for helping us achieve this milestone.

What do people mean by a leased line? Our definition: a leased line is a business-class connectivity service used by organisations to reliably connect offices, data centres and other operational locations to the outside world - with dedicated bandwidth reserved from the customer's location to their connectivity provider's core network.

Unlike consumer broadband, leased lines offer symmetrical connections speeds, dedicated backhaul bandwidth and business-class support. This may often include 24x7 technical support, a Service Level Agreement, and expedited fault resolution.

A fibre leased line is a reliable digital communications link on which 100% of the bandwidth is reserved for the subscriber's use. Downstream and Upstream connection speeds are identical and fixed, with speeds typically between 10 Mbps and 10 Gbps. 

Before you buy, there are a few things you should know about getting a business leased line.

Prices for Business Leased Lines Keep Falling

If you're out of contract on your current leased line, it's time to cut your costs or increase your connection speed at no extra charge. In the medium-to-long term, leased line prices only go one way - down.

In order to benefit from these falls, you will need to sign a new contract.
