Benefits
Service Guarantees
A leased service is backed by stringent service guarantees. These guarantees cover features such as speed, availability, jitter, latency and packet loss. If the service provider does not meet the service level agreement (SLA) there are severe implications. The service provider can be forced to pay financial penalties. You can even terminate the agreement if necessary.
Upload & Download Speeds Are The Same
Leased line services have the same upload speed as download speed. This is called a symmetrical or synchronous bandwidth connection. There are several benefits of this symmetry:
- If remote users are accessing HQ hosted applications and content. They can download to, and access these HQ located services much faster and without drop outs.
- FTP and other remote web services have a far higher level of performance.
- It is quick to send and upload large files, CAD technical drawings, graphic designs etc
Upgrade & Downgrade Bandwidth Capacity Conveniently
Some providers offer the ability to upgrade and downgrade the capacity on a circuit with short notice. BTnet for example allow a bandwidth upgrade or downgrade with 72 hours notice. This means if your business is operating on a 20Mbps service over a 100Mbps bearer, you could increase to 30Mbps without requiring a fresh installation.
- If remote users are accessing HQ hosted applications and content. They can download and access these much faster.
- FTP and other remote web services have a far higher performance.
- It is quick to send and upload large files, CAD technical drawings, graphic designs etc
Unlimited Usage
Leased line fibre does not have a usage cap on the data transferred over the circuit each month. The service is truly unlimited and there are no fair usage policies.
If you have a requirement for more static IP addresses then this can usually be accommodated. A justification for IP addresses is usually required.

Why Use A Price Comparison Service For Leased Lines
What is a leased line comparison service?
LeasedLines.org is similar to GoCompare but for business leased lines. Firstly, you provide your location. Secondly, the speed of service you require. Thirdly, whether you need a single line to the internet, or a multi site network. Finally your contact details for the comparison pricing report. You then receive competitive bids for your specific need.
Can you save using a leased line comparison service?
Typically you will save between 25% and 35% by using a comparison service. The reasons the savings are so high is due to several factors. Firstly the large comparison sites have deep discount facilities with the major operators. This is because of the significant volume of spend that they hold. For the large sites the volumes can be £millions of leased line contracts per month. These savings are passed on to you.
Secondly your requirement is bid against competitively. o it is entirely possible 5 or 6 operators could be bidding for your requirement at your location. The competitive nature of the buying process drives buying prices down for you the buyer.

Comparison process for buying a leased line.
Multiple Options
There are different types of leased line to suit every business’ need.

Fibre offers a powerful combination of reliability and performance. This can come at an expensive rental fee. It is necessary to have fibre optic cable run into your office. There can be considerable installation fees including excess construction costs.

Generic Ethernet Access, (GEA), is a cost effective ethernet based service. The service offers symmetrical speeds of up to 20Mb download and 20Mb upload. The service uses an FTTC enabled exchange and cabinet. Copper is used for the last mile. The bandwidth then switches onto fibre to the exchange. It then passes over the GEA network. By using the existing UK copper network to access businesses, rental and install costs and lead times are vastly lower than traditional fibre based leased lines.

EFM is for some businesses an ideal combination of speed and reliability. EFM leased lines use twisted copper pairs. This has several benefits. Firstly resilience, in the form of multiple copper circuits. Secondly cost, as copper can be used to your customer premises negating the need for fibre installation fees. Thirdly, speed as lead times for EFM can be much quicker without the need to install fibre cable.

FTTP offers a mix of Generic Ethernet Access and Fibre to the Premises (GEA-FTTP) technology. The speed capability is significant, up to 330Mb download and 30Mb upload. FTTP is available to businesses who have access to a FTTC access. Fibre is pulled from the FTTC cabinet to provide the GEA/FTTP bandwidth.
