What Is A Leased Line?
Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), also known as a leased line, is a private high-speed broadband connection that runs directly from the exchange to your premises. The advantage of a leased line is that it is not shared with other buildings or households, which means you won’t experience slower speeds during peak usage hours.
With fibre cabling running directly into your building, your speeds are guaranteed, allowing critical business applications to run smoothly and securely.
Dedicated Internet Access vs Broadband
A leased line is designed for any business that would lose a significant amount of revenue in the event of an outage. As a more resilient and fast connection, a dedicated leased line connection is becoming more popular.
