An informative infographic highlighting the benefits of choosing a leased line for your business.

1. HOW CAN A LEASED LINE
HELP YOUR BUSINESS?
Nothing is more frustrating than
internet outages, slow page
loading, and non-responsive web
applications.
Businesses with eight employees
could lose up to a day’s work
every week due to slow internet
speed.

2. 10 Gbps
WHY YOU NEED A LEASED
LINE CONNECTION
2 Mbps
A dedicated, all-fibre
connection, with speeds up
to 10 Gbps.
It’s faster and more reliable
than a generic ADSL
broadband connection, and
good at connecting multiple
offices.
Perfect for video
conferencing, uploading
large files and using data at
peak times.

RELIABILITY
WHY IS A LEASED LINE BETTER THAN
OTHER INTERNET CONNECTIONS?
BANDWIDTH PERFORMANCE
Because they use an all-fibre
connection, leased lines have
very high bandwidth. This
makes them very popular with
businesses, as there’s enough
throughput for your whole
office to be working online at
the same time.
Imagine your connection as a
tunnel. It can get congested and
grind to a halt, which happens
frequently with traditional ADSL
broadband services. With a
leased line, the tunnel is reserved
just for you – so there’s no
congestion or slowdown.
With ADSL and other copper-
based broadband connections,
reliability can be a problem.
Leased lines on the other hand
are much more reliable, plus they
have a fast 5-hour SLA, instead of
a two-day SLA for normal
broadband services.

5. FLEXIBILITY
80 Mbps
20 Mbps
SECURITY OTHER
SERVICESWith ADSL-style broadband,
the speed you get is ‘up to’
the advertised speeds, and you
can’t normally change it once
you’ve signed up. Leased lines
are much more flexible, so you
can usually increase the speed
if you find your business needs
it.
Leased lines are dedicated to
you, running from the
network provider right into
your business premises. This
makes them inherently more
secure than traditional
business broadband options.
FTTC — If budgets wont stretch
to a leased line, look at FTTC,
which offers up to 80 Mbps of
downstream bandwidth and up to
20 Mbps upstream, depending
on the distance from the
exchange.
