"Leased line" sounds like enterprise jargon, but the concept is simple: it's an internet connection reserved entirely for you, instead of shared with everyone else on your street.
Shared vs. dedicated, in plain terms
Broadband connections are shared across a neighborhood or building — performance dips when everyone's online at once, even if your own usage hasn't changed. A leased line is a dedicated point-to-point connection between your premises and the provider's network, with bandwidth that's entirely yours.
Signs broadband is no longer enough
Call quality and video conferencing degrade at specific times of day. Cloud applications or backups slow down when multiple people use them at once. You're running systems where downtime has a direct cost — point-of-sale, bookings, payment processing.
If none of these apply, broadband is probably still the right, more affordable choice.
What you actually get with a leased line
Symmetric speeds (upload matches download, unlike most broadband). No contention from other users. SLA-backed uptime commitments. A static IP, useful for hosting, VPNs, and remote access setups.
What it costs to find out
Pricing depends on bandwidth and your location, so it's worth a short conversation rather than guessing from a price list. See our Standard Leased Line page for plan tiers, or talk to our team for a tailored quote.
