Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a leased line?
You need a leased line if your business cannot tolerate unplanned downtime or variable upload speeds. Leased lines provide a guaranteed symmetric connection with contractual SLA and fix-time commitments. If your usage is primarily email and web browsing with no critical uptime requirement, broadband is likely sufficient.
What is the difference between FTTP and a leased line?
FTTP is a shared, contended broadband service delivered over fibre. Speeds are typically asymmetric and there is no guaranteed fix time. A leased line is a dedicated, uncontended fibre circuit with symmetric speeds and a contractual SLA. FTTP costs from around £20 to £60 per month. A leased line costs £200 to £500 per month depending on bandwidth and location.
What is SD-WAN and when is it worth it?
SD-WAN is a software layer that manages traffic across multiple internet connections. It adds intelligent routing, automatic failover and centralised policy control. It is worth considering if you have two or more sites, need application-level traffic prioritisation, or want to bond cheaper broadband circuits for resilience.
