Leased Line Service FAQ


Many businesses are becoming increasingly aware that using shared lines for communications is seriously affecting their connectivity performance and are turning to alternatives to combat the problems. Leased line services from Managed Communications offer viable solutions at value for money prices.

What is a leased line?

A leased line provides you with your own private, always open connection, whether that's between offices or to the internet, that cannot be used by anyone else. This provides guaranteed levels of speed and reliability, which can be crucial to many businesses, especially those with high levels of data traffic in both directions.

What is a leased line used for?

The main use for a leased line is to connect two distant offices, for example a satellite office to a head office, or simply to connect one location to the internet. The use of leased lines for the internet is becoming increasingly popular due to the guaranteed bandwidth that can be offered and the unique access to the leased line. Leased lines can also be used to connect a number of offices on their own private network.

Is a leased line expensive?

Traditionally leased lines have been the more expensive options for superior connectivity but Managed Communications have, after a thorough review of the market, developed very reliable, value-for-money leased line service solutions. Our prices offer lower rental than traditional BT leased lines and include low cost installation charges and rates based on bandwidth only, not distance.

Will all my applications still work?

In short, yes. It used to be a requirement to have a BT leased line to run some latency dependant applications, but Managed Communications have developed a leased line service that allows all such applications to run on our better value leased lines.
