» FAQ for leased line UK customers

Why get a UK leased line?

For any business that operated online, having a high-speed broadband connection is essential. After all, time is money, so having a fast upstream and downstream enables efficient data transfer. Unfortunately, the average speeds offered by most ISPs are simply not fast enough for business; what's more, connections must be secure and uncontended.

This is why so many companies opt for a leased line. Similar to a phone line, a leased line provides a private circuit between two points; be it the office and the internet, or two geographically distant offices. A private, secure and uncontended path for data transfer can mean your business runs smoothly and safely; imagine having your own dedicated lane on the motorway!

Why is Managed Comms the best choice for a UK leased line?

If you're looking for a leased line, UK businesses often think BT is their only option. However, Managed Comms can offer a leased line that is much cheaper than BT and many other providers; not least because we calculate our costs using the requested bandwidth rather than the distance that needs to be covered. Manages Comms also covers most of the UK – check the leased line availability guide to find out more.

We pride ourselves on brilliant customer service, and we minimise costs for your wherever we can. Our team of engineers is at your beck and call should you have a problem, but Managed Comms leased lines come with a 99.9% Service Level Agreement; clearly, we have faith in the quality of our products.

Possible alternatives to a leased line

For a similar effect to a leased line, UK businesses can opt for many types of bonded ADSL and SDSL, all provided by Managed Comms. In some cases broadband bonding can be achieved through a pre-configured router; this will arrive on site complete with instructions and an advice hotline, so you can install it yourself and avoid any additional fees. We can also offer an EFM leased line service, or Ethernet in the First Mile. This involves bundling the copper pairs occurring in the Ethernet between the office and the nearest exchange in order to boost speeds.
