Cloud vs On-site Servers

Posted on by Matt Jones

More and more businesses are looking to move away from server infrastructure, replacing it with cloud computing. Why? Well theres lots of reasons and we’ll be covering only some within this article explaining the advantages and dissadvantages of each.

Money

Cloud server:

Having a cloud server costs a lot less, it doesn’t demand a special room with air conditioning. All it requires is an internet connection, whether they is standard broadband or 4G/5G.

All you’ll pay for is what you need and the storage grows as you grow. No more continuous running costs, only a monthly flat fee based on what your business needs.

Cloud servers are essentially a VPS stored in a compliant data centre. A typical situation is an IT provider (in this instance ourselves) will own some servers which we would segment up for individual clients. This way we know that the servers are protected 24/7 in a UK data centre which is constantly managed.

We take where we get our servers from very seriously and that is why we have partnered with a UK based company running servers from 100% renewable energy.

A typical cost for a cloud server can range between £50 – £200 pcm depending on your storage size.

On-site server:

Naturally one of the main reasons going against on-site servers is cost, businesses want to receive a good product for the cheapest price. Sinking money into an old on-site server is not the way to do that.

On-site servers have an extremely high running cost. 

They take up space, usually a separate locked room something that some small businesses might not have access to.

Servers also get hot, they require air conditioning and to be kept at a stable temperature. Running air-conditioning units costs a lot of money and they don’t stop running even when the office closes.

Servers consume a lot of power just by themselves without the addition of air-con. Something that can’t be turned off which constantly drains power while upping your bill.

Also if that server is in your building it becomes your problem if something goes wrong. Maintenance bills can be pricy especially if you haven’t been taking care of your server with regular checks and upgrades. If your server goes down your team might not be able to work until its fixed.

So how much do servers cost? On average you are looking at a minimum of £1000 for a basic server going upwards to £25,000 for a high end server.

Responsibility

Cloud server:

With cloud servers you are more than likely protected by the IT provider you are getting the cloud server from. There is also a lot less responsibility in general with cloud servers due to their set up.

On-site server:

With your on-site server ultimately everything is your responsibility unless you pay an IT provider. Uptime, maintenance, security and backups, each of these components holds a cost, if that cost isn’t met then it carries a risk, if the server goes down then how are your employees going to work? If your server gets hacked, how detrimental will that be to your company?

Often overlooked security is one of the most important subjects, if an invader gains access they can wreak all sorts of mayhem. If your company stores customer information then theres a good chance that you’re going to receive a massive fine from the government.

If your server is managed by someone else then ultimately everything above is their responsibility, and ultimately they are experts in their field when it comes to this. These people know what they are doing so your server is in safe hands.

Enterprise features

Cloud server:

The bulk of this is handled for you in the cloud, and for the typical small or medium business, the redundancy, resilience, and reliability are considerably higher than they would be with an on-premises solution.

Take email as an illustration. One or two servers might support an on-premises email service used by a typical small or medium-sized business. These will be backed up, and in more sophisticated circumstances, they might have copies elsewhere that might be brought online in the event of a breakdown.

On-site server:

Large businesses spend a significant portion of their IT spending removing single points of failure as a follow-up to shared responsibility. Redundancy is first introduced by adding more servers, firewalls, switches, and internet connectivity, but in many circumstances, this leads to one or more completely duplicate infrastructure sets.

Smaller firms are just as dependent on working IT as any large corporation, but they rarely have the resources or room to provide that type of resilience.

Conclusion

This is only a small sample of what cloud solutions might be able to do for your company. The main takeaway is that in order to realise the benefits, it’s crucial to look beyond the up-front or continuing charges and analyse your present solution’s total cost of ownership before comparing it to the new benefits and risk reductions. You’ll probably discover that taking the risk will benefit you more in the long run.

5 reasons to outsource your cyber security

Posted on by Matt Jones

For the majority of businesses, maintaining a solid security position is a significant challenge. All businesses are at risk of becoming victims of the advanced cyberattacks that are growing more prevalent. Businesses often use new technologies that concentrate on prevention, detection, and remediation to lower this risk. 

But this technology alone won’t stop a cyberattack; it needs to be used by knowledgeable security experts. To make sure their business is as secure as possible, many companies opt to outsource this to a reliable third party. This post will go over 5 reasons for outsourcing cyber security by businesses.

Access to cyber security experts

Many businesses rely on their internal departments to manage both their infrastructure and cyber security. This can be a daunting endeavour, leading to a weak security posture and a stressed-out workforce, depending on the size of the business and the workload of the IT department. 

This is made worse by the fact that there is now a scarcity of cybersecurity professionals, which makes it challenging for organisations to hire them.

A business has access to a group of cyber security experts when they outsource their cybersecurity to a reliable third party. 

Their expertise guarantees that they will be able to precisely identify and address weaknesses in a business’s security set up, and most significantly, they are knowledgeable about the most recent cyberthreats and the most effective defences against them.

Reduced costs

Employing a new security specialist or retraining existing staff may be very expensive for businesses of all sizes. 

It might be challenging to justify hiring someone specifically for security for smaller businesses. A business will still have to pay for cyber security solutions in addition to the expense of hiring or training personnel. 

While the cost of outsourcing a business’s cybersecurity is often a fixed monthly sum that covers the technology as well as access to the team of cyber security experts.

Anytime a business weighs the expense of outsourcing security, they should also take into account the typical cost of a cyberattack because this can help determine the return on investment.

Decrease workload

If your business has internal IT staff, there’s a good chance they’re already swamped with support requests and managing the IT infrastructure. 

They frequently end up having insufficient time to focus on finding the ideal security solution or monitoring threats once the solution has been put in place. 

When cybersecurity is outsourced, a third-party supplier is in charge of the solution’s strategy, execution, and monitoring. As a result, internal IT departments have more time to devote to developing IT solutions that advance the company and enhance the experiences of both customers and other employees.

Improved incident response time

It is essential for a business to act swiftly after being the target of an attack to limit further damage and downtime. An internal IT team might not be aware of a cybercriminal entering a network or system over the weekend until Monday am. 

The threat actor will have enough time as a result to migrate laterally via a network and cause greater harm. For instance, Russian nation-state hackers can penetrate a network in under 18 minutes.

Numerous cybersecurity service providers provide protection, detection, and remediation around-the-clock to guarantee that, once an assault happens, someone is prepared to act quickly. 

Additionally, it is less expensive than hiring an internal crew to work on the weekends and through the evenings to provide round-the-clock security.

More advanced technologies

Numerous cyber security technologies, such as endpoint protection, email protection, autonomous detection, and many more, are made to perform particular tasks. 

Because it would be too expensive and time-consuming to provide training for every available option, an internal IT staff would not have experience with all of these cutting-edge technology. 

If a business outsources their cyber security requirements, it will be protected by a team of experts with knowledge of a variety of cutting-edge cybersecurity tools. This team will be able to reliably provide insights into which technologies are worthwhile for a business to invest in.

IT Outsourcing Models Explained: Fully Managed, Co-Managed or Selective?

Posted on by Matt Jones

The short answer: IT outsourcing means paying an external provider to run some or all of your IT. There are three main models. Fully managed hands the whole job to a provider. Co-managed keeps your in-house IT person or team and adds a provider for cover, tools and specialist skills. Selective outsources specific services, most often cyber security, backup or telephony. Most businesses without their own IT staff choose fully managed; businesses with one or two IT people usually get more from co-managed.

Last updated: 29 September 2026. Written by the ATS Connection team from the outsourcing arrangements we run for clients, with government sources linked below.

In this guide

What is IT outsourcing?

IT outsourcing is using an external company to deliver IT work that would otherwise be done by your own staff. That can range from the entire IT function, including helpdesk, security, devices and planning, down to a single service such as backups or the phone system.

It is common, particularly for security. The government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/2026 found that 44% of micro businesses now use an external cyber security provider, up from 39% a year earlier.

If you are still deciding whether to outsource at all, start with why outsource your IT support and in-house vs outsourced IT support. This guide is about the next question: once you outsource, which model should you use?

How do the three IT outsourcing models compare?

Fully managedCo-managedSelective
Who runs day-to-day ITThe providerShared: in-house team and providerYour team, or nobody
Who your staff callThe provider’s helpdeskUsually in-house first, provider as backup or second lineYour team, with the provider for its service only
Typical fitNo in-house IT staffOne to a few in-house IT peopleSpecific gap, such as security or telephony
Cost patternFixed monthly fee per userSmaller monthly fee for the agreed shareFee per service
Biggest riskChoosing a weak providerUnclear split of responsibilitiesGaps between services that nobody owns

What is fully managed IT?

Fully managed IT means a provider acts as your complete IT department. It answers your staff’s support requests, monitors and patches every device, runs Microsoft 365 and security, manages backups, deals with suppliers and plans your IT budget. You keep ownership and decision-making; the provider does the work and is accountable for it.

This suits most businesses of 5 to 250 people that do not employ IT staff. The price is predictable, typically £30 to £90 per user per month in the UK. See our outsourced IT support service and published pricing.

A local example: at the Norfolk Arms Hotel in Arundel, a listed 37-room hotel, we took on the IT, security and telecoms together, installing a leased line, Wi-Fi across the building and gardens, a VoIP phone system with a handset in every room, and remote monitoring of every device, with the work planned around a hotel that runs at high occupancy all year.

What is co-managed IT?

Co-managed IT is an arrangement where an external provider works alongside your own IT staff, with the responsibilities split between them. The in-house person keeps the local knowledge and the relationships; the provider adds cover, tooling and specialist skills that one or two people cannot realistically hold.

It usually makes sense when:

  • Your IT manager is the single point of failure, and holidays or sickness leave the business exposed.
  • Your team is buried in support tickets and never gets to projects.
  • You need security skills, such as Cyber Essentials, Conditional Access or incident response, that nobody in-house has.
  • You want professional monitoring, patching and backup tools without buying and running them yourself.

The single most important part of a co-managed arrangement is a written split of who does what. A typical split looks like this:

TaskIn-house ITProvider
First-line user supportLeadsOverflow and holiday cover
Monitoring, patching and endpoint securityInformedLeads
Microsoft 365 security policiesApprovesDesigns and maintains
Backups and restore testingInformedLeads
Line-of-business applicationsLeadsEscalation support
IT strategy and budgetLeadsAdvises
Security incidentsInformed and involvedLeads the technical response
An example only. Every co-managed agreement should set its own split.

What is selective IT outsourcing?

Selective outsourcing hands over one or more specific services while the rest stays in-house or unmanaged. The services businesses most often outsource on their own are:

Selective outsourcing can sit neatly alongside an in-house team. Brighton College has its own network manager; we supplied and rolled out its endpoint antivirus across the whole network, and it now largely runs itself, with alerts sent to the network manager only when action is needed.

Selective outsourcing works well when there is a clear owner for everything else. It goes wrong when the pieces sit with different suppliers and nobody owns the gaps between them: the backup provider assumes the Microsoft 365 provider handles retention, and the Microsoft 365 provider assumes the reverse.

What should you never outsource?

Whichever model you choose, some things should stay with the business:

  • Ownership of your accounts. Your Microsoft 365 tenant, domain names and admin credentials should be registered to your business, with the provider given access. Never the other way round.
  • Decisions about risk and spend. A provider should advise; the business decides.
  • Knowledge of where things are. Insist on documentation you can read and keep, so you can change provider without starting again.
  • A right to leave. Check notice periods and what handover you get before you sign.

The NCSC’s guidance on choosing a managed service provider covers the contract and security points in more detail, including certifications, incident notification and exit terms.

Which IT outsourcing model is right for you?

A quick way to decide:

  • No IT staff, and IT matters to how you work: fully managed.
  • One or two IT people who are stretched or isolated: co-managed.
  • A capable IT team with one specific gap: selective, for that gap.
  • Very small team with simple needs: fully managed on a lower tier often costs little more than ad hoc support and removes the risk.

ATS Connection provides fully managed IT support, and individual services such as cyber security, Microsoft 365, backup and business phones, for businesses across Sussex and the UK. We have been doing it since 2015 and look after more than 100 businesses. If you are unsure which model fits, a free IT review with one of our senior engineers is a good place to start.

Frequently asked questions

What is IT outsourcing?

Using an external provider to deliver IT work that would otherwise be done by your own staff, from the whole IT function to a single service such as backups or security.

What is co-managed IT?

An arrangement where an external IT provider works alongside a business’s in-house IT staff, with a written split of responsibilities. The provider typically handles monitoring, security, patching and cover, while the in-house team keeps local knowledge and first-line support.

What is the difference between fully managed and co-managed IT?

Fully managed means the provider acts as your complete IT department. Co-managed means the provider shares the work with your own IT staff.

What IT services are most commonly outsourced?

Cyber security, backup and disaster recovery, Microsoft 365 administration, telephony and connectivity, and projects such as migrations. The government’s 2025/2026 breaches survey found 44% of micro businesses use an external cyber security provider, up from 39% the year before.

How much does outsourced IT cost?

Fully managed IT support in the UK typically costs £30 to £90 per user per month. Co-managed and selective arrangements usually cost less because the provider only covers part of the work.

What should stay in-house when you outsource IT?

Ownership of your Microsoft 365 tenant, domains and admin accounts, decisions about risk and budget, and documentation of your systems. These keep you in control and let you change provider if you need to.

What is mobile broadband?

Posted on by Matt Jones

What is mobile broadband?

Millions of homes and businesses now have access to fast fibre optic internet via the BT Openreach network, Virgin Media network. If you can get fibre it’s a great choice, providing fast (sometimes gigabit) speeds at an affordable price.

But that’s if you can get it. There are still many properties where the only option for fixed-line broadband is ADSL, which can be very slow depending on the condition of the line and distance from the exchange. This is a particular problem for rural areas, but there are still urban locations that lack modern broadband infrastructure.

If you’re in a situation where internet access is very sluggish, you might be looking for alternatives, and one potential contender is 4G/5G mobile broadband.

Understanding how Mobile Broadband works and the benefits of it can make a big difference when considering what broadband is right for you. There are a few confusions around Mobile Broadband so lets start with the basics and go from there. Mobile Broadband has two variations to it:

  1. Portable MiFi – devices which allows you to put a SIM card into the device and allows you to take it wherever you go and use it as you see fit. Be that on the train, on a plane or even in cafe with no WiFi. As long as your device has a connection to the mobile network you have chosen (most networks offer this) you will have a connection to the internet.
  2. 4G/5G Broadband router – These are best used at a static location such as an office or at home. Using this method, you are almost having the same set up as traditional fibre broadband, just with a few extra components (discussed below).

How does mobile broadband work?

Mobile broadband works very much like traditional broadband, with a main router which produces internet connection. So, what is the difference? The main difference comes from how they produce an internet connection.

Fibre broadband gets it’s connection from a copper wire which comes from a cabinet in your local area and ran to your house, which then connects into your router and produces internet.

Mobile broadband generates internet via a mobile network SIM card. These are identical to mobile SIMs that you use in your mobile device but have slight differences in how they function. Mobile broadband SIM cards are designed to have multiple devices running on the SIM without crashing and causing issues. Instead of having a copper wire running to your house, mobile broadband generates its connection via antennas attached to the back of your router. In most cases though, it is more beneficial to purchase an exterior antenna, install it to a high point off the property and running an antenna extension wire which goest into the back of the router. Why? Because we are then putting the antenna (which is the component which receives the signal) at a higher vantage point to pick up a much stronger signal.

Ultimately the choice between standard fibre broadband or mobile broadband will come down to your needs, location and demands.

Who can benefit from it?

Most buildings could benefit from mobile broadband, whether they use it as a back up to their current fibre broadband so if that goes down the 4G/5G network kicks in, meaning no down time.

Over the last year or so with working from home being very common for most, they have found that their fibre broadband is not quick or reliable enough for their needs. So this has seen a huge demand for mobile broadband at homes so home works can cope with their work loads.

Those living in a rural area can also benefit from mobile broadband. We have recently installed mobile broadband who was only seeing 3mbps with fibre broadband and is now seeing 35mbps on average!

What are the main benefits?

If broadband options in your area are poor, but your mobile signal is strong, mobile broadband can be a real lifeline. 

In some areas, 4G speeds can be higher than those of the local fixed broadband. It’s a solution you’ll often see in very rural areas that fixed broadband lines struggle to reach.

Mobile broadband is also a great low-cost solution for a temporary problem, perhaps if you’ve just moved home and the broadband is taking time to get connected. Even a week without being connected could be frustrating for the whole family.

With people working from home at the moment, and possibly far more so in the future, mobile broadband could be a solution to having your own connection for work, keeping the fixed broadband for the rest of the family to use.

  • It’s a great way of getting broadband (or higher download speeds, or a more reliable connection) in areas where a fixed line is a bit iffy or difficult to reach.
  • There’s no need for line rental. All you need is a SIM and a compatible device.
  • Mobile broadband plans are usually a lot more flexible.
  • In some areas, 4G speeds can be higher than those of the local fixed broadband.
  • Perfect for businesses or homes in rural areas.

“Mobile broadband has massively increased our broadband speed, making it much easier to work from home.”

How can you get started with mobile broadband?

Getting started is easy, at ATS Connection we specialise in all aspects of broadband and are reinventing how mobile broadband works. Being specialists in mobile broadband we can advise on the best set up you need for your property, install the necessary hardware and supply mobile broadband SIM cards.

Government Emergency Alerts

Posted on by Matt Jones

You may have heard that the UK government is launching Emergency Alerts, expected summer 2021. Here’s an insight into what this means for you.

What will they do?

An Emergency Alert is sent to your phone or tablet to warn you if there’s danger to life nearby. It will also let you know how to stay safe. 

Why would you get an alert?

  • Testing of Emergency Alerts by mobile phone networks
  • Severe flooding
  • Fires
  • Explosions
  • Terrorist incidents
  • Public health emergencies

The alerts will only be sent by:

  • The emergency services
  • The government

How they work:

Using usual mobile signal (phone masts) every mobile or tablet in range will receive an alert. It is not sent using a phone number and you therefore do not need to supply a number.

How to test broadband speed

Posted on by Matt Jones

Testing a home line, or a business one? The method is the same either way. If the line is at home and the speed is not what you pay for, our home broadband page sets out the packages. If it is a business line, SoGEA, full fibre and leased lines are the upgrades worth knowing about.

We live in a world which near enough everything uses some form of internet signal. Confirming that our internet signal is working properly is one of the most important things when it comes to your business and how it functions. So the question is, how do you test your internet speed?

To test your broadband speed you can use our broadband speed check tool to get a snapshot of your current download and upload speed. There’s no charge, so do as many tests as you like. We encourage you to do as many as you can (and at different times/days) to build a more accurate overall picture of the speeds you are getting and gives your provider and insight as to what is happening.

One thing to keep in mind is speed tests are not definitive nor do they show you what speeds you should be getting. Multiple variables can come into play that effect your broadband speed.

This test is designed for broadband connections of all types, including mobile broadband and smartphones, and is compatible with all major web browsers on desktop, mobile, and gaming platforms.Ready to buy a new broadband package? Enter a postcode to see the best deals in your area.

How does the broadband speed test work? 

Our broadband speed test measures is performed by measuring the time it takes for the server to reply to a request from the user’s client. The client sends a message to the server, upon receiving that message, the server sends a reply back. The round-trip time is measured is measured in ms (milliseconds). This test is repeated multiple times with the lowest value determining the final result. This provides a simple, clear, real-world measurement of broadband speed. 

The test provides accurate measurements of download and upload speeds for any type of broadband connection by dynamically assessing the speed and automatically adjusting in order to achieve the maximum throughput of the line. Data transferred during the test is not saved to your computer.

Is the broadband speed checker free?

ATS Connection’s internet speed test is completely free and always will be. We feel it’s important for all internet users to be able to get a quick internet speed result so they can see what speeds they are receiving. Not sure what speed you should be receiving? Call us on 01903 255 159 to find out.

What is the best way to test internet speed? 

Before using the broadband speed check you should close all other programs and disconnect or switch off any other devices in your household. When possible, connect to the broadband router with a network (ethernet) cable. If using Wi-Fi you should stand next to the router and not use any signal boosters. Speeds can vary during the day, so test at different times to get a more accurate picture of your broadband speed. Remember to take a note of both download and upload speeds.

Why is the speed I get different from the speed advertised?

Get told one thing from your broadband provider and getting something different on there speed results? There are a number of reasons why the speed test may report a different figure to the speed advertised when you signed up for the broadband.

Home broadband is advertised with an “average” download speed which is achieved by 50% of customers, but of course, your connection could be slower (or faster) than average depending on various variables in the environment. 

But there are other reasons why the connection might be slower than expected. Software running on your device and other users sharing the connection will all impact the test. Wi-Fi can be slower than a cabled connection, while old house wiring can affect home broadband speeds (try to be sure your router is plugged into your main BT master socket). Your supplier may also prioritise different types of broadband traffic. And mobile internet is heavily dependant on having a strong signal and can be noticeably slower in busy areas. The router your broadband provider has supplied you could also be an older version or even a cheap underperforming router.

What now?

So you have ran the speed test multiple times but are still finding your speeds are less than what you were told by your broadband provider? While there are multiple variables that can come into play, you are entitled to your minimum download speed (more information here) offered by your provider. In fact, you can now easily get out of your contract if it is proven that you are not receiving the speeds mentioned to you when signing up.

Broadband can be a problem for many households, especially rural. But ATS Connection offer lighting fast speeds at a cost effective price, while offering local support for the times you need us. Check out our broadband information page here.

What is a Leased Line?

Posted on by Matt Jones

A leased line is a dedicated, fixed-bandwidth, symmetric data connection. We will move onto what that means in a moment. A leased line is used to link two locations together from point A to point B. The first location is typically an office. The second location is typically another office, a data centre that’s connected to the Internet or a data centre that’s connected to the company’s existing Wide Area Network.

What is a Leased Line Used For?

Businesses use leased lines for multiple reasons. These reasons include:

  • A strong connection to the internet
  • To link PCs and servers in different offices (locations)
  • Perform phone calls which do not get disturbed
  • Enable a strong VPN connection for those working away from the office.

Leased Lines are Dedicated

Leased lines are ‘dedicated‘ lines. This means that along the route of your leased line, the bandwidth you need has been reserved solely for your use. So no matter how busy your broadband was or how many calls you were receiving, your internet would easily be able to handle the demand.

We all know what it is like being a home user and the internet slowing down at peak times. But unlike consumer Internet connections, the bandwidth available does not fall at peak times, when other customers of the same ISP try to use their connections at the same time as you. To put it simply, a leased line can handle heavy demand.

Leased Lines are Symmetric

This means users of a leased line can upload data at the same fast speed at which they can can download data. This can be useful if staff need to do any of the following:

  • Be able to access their work desktops from home
  • The ability to send large files
  • Backup data using online services
  • Host softwares on a serve in an office
  • Maximise VOIP telephone services

Not just an Internet Connection (unless you want it to)

It’s common for companies to buy Internet access at the same time they buy a leased line. However a leased line is not the same thing as an Internet connection.

As an example, a pipe can be used to carry a number of different things (e.g.water, gas, sewage), so in the same instance a leased line can be used to carry a number of different types of data traffic (Internet traffic, phone calls, VPN traffic). There’s no requirement to buy Internet access on a leased line, it can cope with all forms of internet and phone calls.

If you end up getting Internet access along with a leased line, there’s no requirement that you get enough to fill the leased line. For example, you might choose to get 15Mbit/s of Internet access on a 20Mbit/s leased line, which in turn could be provisioned over a 100Mbit/s circuit.  You could use 5Mbit/s for WAN traffic and VoIP calls, and there would be 80Mbit/s spare for future usage.

What is a Leased Line Likely to Deliver, Speed-wise?

the most popular connection speeds are 2Mbps, 10Mbps and 100Mbps, even though connections of 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabits per second) are possible if money is no object.

What is a leased line likely to cost you? As a rough rule of thumb, 10Mbps connections cost twice as much as 2Mbps connections. And 100Mbps connections cost twice as much as 10Mbps connections.

Advantages of a Dedicated Connection (compared to ADSL)

  • Faster download speeds
  • Faster upload speeds
  • Internet connections that don’t slow down at peak times
  • Heavily improved reliability
  • Better support

Disadvantages of a Dedicated Connection (compared to ADSL)

  • Cost – Leased line costs have fallen, but leased lines are still much more expensive than ADSL connections.
  • Longer Wait – Leased lines may take about three months to install rather than two weeks as standard on ADSL.
  • Physical Installation – Installing leased lines is also more complex than installing ADSL, as ADSL can be provided over a pre-existing circuit (your phone line). A leased line will require a new circuit, and is likely to require some construction work to connect your building to the leased line provider’s network.

What Is A Leased Line Likely To Cost Me?

This depends on to main reasons

  • The speed of connection you want
  • Your location and
  • The length of the contract you’re willing to sign. Because of this it often takes leased line providers days to provide you with a quote.
