A private, dedicated, fibre Leased Line is the business-grade broadband connection of choice for UK businesses because of the speeds available (from 100mbps to 10gbps and more) and concreted SLAs for fault fixes.
Aside from the fact that they can offer upload and download speeds of up to 10gbps, the main reason that many businesses chose to connect their businesses via private fibre, or ethernet Leased Line, is far greater reliability that they offer over "shared" connections like FTTC or FTTP.
Most Leased Line providers claim 99.9% (to varying decimal places) reliability for their connections, and in our experience this is the case. Put simply, they are simpler and more expensive - fewer variables, better equipment - and so go wrong less.
However, regardless of how reliable a connection is, Sods Law dictates that there's always a chance that somethine will go worng at some point.
Your own, private, full fibre internet connection, also know as a Leased Line, is still the Holy Grail of connectivity for most businesses.
That's because they are;
- Dedicated (The line is yours alone).
- Uncontended (The bandwidth is yours and yours alone).
- Guaranteed (The speed quoted is the speed you’ll get).
- Symmetrical (Your upload and download speeds are the same).
