Leased Lines

A leased line from Performance Networks offers a variety of benefits from a fast, reliable connection to UK-based customer support team, offering advice and guidance around the clock.

Performance Networks Fibre Leased Lines can offer speeds of 10Mbps to 1Gbps across a dedicated fibre circuit, guaranteeing speed and uncontended bandwidth.

Without a leased line, businesses may face unreliable connectivity, slow uploads, frequent downtime, and limited support—issues that can severely affect productivity. A leased line from Performance Networks eliminates these problems by delivering stable, ultra-fast speeds, guaranteed uptime through Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and 24/7 priority customer support.

This solution is perfect for businesses that rely on consistent connectivity, data transfers, video conferencing, or cloud-based services, allowing them to maintain operations and avoid costly interruptions.

What is a Leased Line?

A leased line is a dedicated, fixed-bandwidth data connection tailored for businesses that demand reliable, high-performance internet. Unlike standard broadband, which is shared with other users and often slows down during peak times, a leased line guarantees fast, symmetrical upload and download speeds, as well as consistent uptime and resilience. The term “leased” refers to the exclusive connection provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) directly to your business, offering a superior level of service compared to traditional broadband.

With a dedicated leased line from Performance Networks, your business enjoys uncontested bandwidth that is exclusively yours, so your connection remains fast and stable, regardless of the time of day or network traffic. By investing in a leased line, you’re ensuring your business stays connected, productive, and ready to meet the demands of a data-driven world.

Leased Line Benefits

Leased lines have several key advantages:

Symmetrical Speeds:

Both upload and download speeds are identical, essential for tasks like large file transfers and cloud-based applications.

Point-to-Point Connection:

A leased line connects your business directly to the ISP, providing a secure and reliable link between two locations.

For businesses relying on fast, uninterrupted internet for tasks like VoIP calls, video conferencing, or sending large files, a standard broadband connection can often fall short, especially when it’s contended and shared among multiple users. This can lead to frustrating delays, interrupted calls, and reduced productivity.

Uncontended Bandwidth:

The connection is exclusively yours, not shared with other users, ensuring consistent performance at all times.

How do Leased Lines Work?

A leased line operates using the same fibre optic technology as standard fibre broadband but with one key difference: it is a dedicated connection exclusively for your business. Fibre optic leased lines work by transmitting pulses of light down a fibre optic cable, where equipment on both ends communicates using binary data – the 0s and 1s of digital information – at the speed of light.

The only limitation on speed comes from how fast the equipment can transmit and interpret this light. Unlike shared broadband, a leased line ensures that this connection is reserved solely for your business, delivering a unique, uncontended connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Leased Line Options for Businesses

Businesses have several leased line options, each offering different levels of performance and cost:

Full Fibre

This is the premium choice, offering a direct, superfast ethernet connection over 100% fibre optic cables from your business premises to the ISP. Full fibre provides speeds up to 1Gbps, with 10Gbps solutions currently being tested. It is the fastest, most reliable, and most expensive leased line option available.

Ethernet over FTTC (EoFTTC)

For businesses near a fibre-enabled cabinet, EoFTTC offers a combination of fibre and copper, providing a cost-efficient alternative to full fibre and EFM. While speeds depend on the distance from the cabinet, this option often delivers symmetric connections and can “burst” download speeds beyond the standard upload speeds when necessary. It’s a cheaper option for businesses that need reliable service but may not require the highest speeds.

Why Choose Performance Networks for Your Leased Line?

At Performance Networks, we offer a range of leased line services to suit your business’s unique needs. Whether you need the ultimate speed and reliability of full fibre, a cost-effective EFM connection, or a flexible EoFTTC solution, we deliver uncontended, guaranteed bandwidth with expert support. Our leased lines ensure your business has the high-performance, stable internet connection it needs to thrive, with uptime guarantees and 24/7 customer support to keep your operations running smoothly.

Investing in a leased line from Performance Networks gives your business the competitive advantage of reliable, ultra-fast internet, free from the congestion and slowdowns that come with shared broadband solutions.

How Much is a Leased Line?

The cost of a leased line can vary depending on several factors, such as location, required speed, backup options, and monitoring services. While it’s difficult to provide an exact price without knowing specific business needs, costs are generally influenced by the type of connection and the level of service required.

For example, businesses in remote areas or those requiring ultra-high speeds will have different pricing compared to those in urban locations. At Performance Networks, we work with you to tailor a leased line solution that fits your business’s connectivity requirements, ensuring you get the best value for the performance and reliability you need.
