Business Leased Lines The Same Speed Both Ways
A private fibre line into your building that nobody else shares. Any speed from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps, uploads as fast as downloads, a business SLA and a static IP included, from £200 a month plus VAT. Ordered, installed and supported by our own UK team.
Why businesses choose a leased line
Same headline speed. Very different upload.
Leased line, 1 Gbps Dedicated to you
Full fibre, 1 Gbps Shared with your area
On a leased line, cloud backups, video calls and large files go up almost nine times faster than on 1 Gbps full fibre.

Leased line vs full fibre, side by side.
Both are fast. The difference is who shares the line, how fast it uploads and how quickly it is fixed. See all our business broadband options, including full fibre and 5G.

What you get
A connection that is yours. A team that looks after it.
Dedicated and uncontended
Nobody else shares your line, so the speed you pay for is the speed you get, at 9am on a Monday or any other time.
The same speed both ways
Uploads as fast as downloads, for cloud backups, video calls, remote desktops and large files.
A business SLA
Target availability and defined fix times, set out in your quote so you know exactly what you are getting.
Static IP included
A static IP comes with every leased line at no extra cost, ready for VPNs, remote access and your own systems.
We manage the carrier
We handle the survey, the build and the carrier from start to finish, and keep you informed throughout.
One team for everything
The same team looks after your line, network, WiFi, phones and IT support. One number to call.
How it works
From first call to live, managed for you.
Most of the time on a leased line order is the carrier’s survey and build, which is why the installation timeline is in your quote from the start. Installation is commonly 30 to 90 working days, depending on the route to your building. Our leased line cost guide explains what can affect the price and timing.
01
Tell us where
Send us the address and what the line needs to carry. We check which carriers can reach your building.
02
Survey and quote
You get the monthly price, speed, SLA and installation timeline in writing, before you commit.
03
Build and install
The carrier surveys the route and builds the line. We manage every step and keep you updated.
04
Live and supported
We plan the switchover so your team is not left offline, then support the line alongside your IT and phones.
Failover and resilience
Stay online, even if the line is cut.
Roadworks and cable damage happen. Add a backup connection, and your business keeps running while the main line is fixed.
5G backup
A 5G connection that takes over if the main line has a problem, so calls and cloud apps keep working.
£30 a month, £50 set-up
5G broadbandA second line
A full fibre line or a second leased line on a different route, for sites that cannot go offline at all.

FAQ
Business leased lines: common questions
Straight answers on price, speed and installation. For the bigger picture, see our business broadband page.
What is a business leased line?
A leased line is a private fibre connection from the network to your premises that nobody else shares. You get the speed you pay for in both directions, all day, with a business service level agreement and defined fix times. Some providers also sell EFM, a slower version over copper phone lines; our guide to EFM explains the difference.
How much does a leased line cost?
Our leased lines start from £200 a month, excluding VAT. The exact price depends on your address, the speed you need, which carriers reach your building and the contract length, so every quote is worked out for your site after a survey. Our leased line cost guide explains the full picture.
What speeds can I get?
Any speed from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps, including 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 Mbps, 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps, always with the same upload and download speed. We recommend a speed based on how your team actually works, so you do not pay for capacity you will not use.
How long does a leased line take to install?
It depends on the route to your building. Installation is commonly 30 to 90 working days, and sites that need new construction can take longer. Your quote sets out the timeline before you commit, and we manage the process for you.
What is the difference between a leased line and full fibre broadband?
A leased line is dedicated to your business, uploads as fast as it downloads and comes with a business SLA. Full fibre broadband is shared with your area, uploads more slowly than it downloads, for example 115 Mbps up on a 1 Gbps plan, and costs far less.
Is a leased line worth it for a small business?
It is worth it when losing the connection would stop the business, when your phones and key systems run over the internet, or when you upload a lot of data. If not, full fibre broadband with a 5G backup is often better value, and we supply both.
Can I increase the speed later?
Yes. Each leased line runs on a fibre line with a maximum capacity, such as 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps. We can usually raise your speed up to that maximum without a new installation.
What happens if the leased line goes down?
Your line comes with a business SLA with defined fix times, and you call us, not a carrier queue. You can also add a 5G backup or a second line so your business stays online while it is fixed.
Is a static IP included?
Yes. Every leased line we supply comes with a static IP at no extra cost.
What contract lengths do you offer?
Leased lines are available on agreements from 12 months. Longer terms can lower the monthly price, and we will show you the options side by side in your quote.
