Fibre Optic Leased Lines

A fibre optic leased line (or Ethernet leased line) can provide site-to-site connectivity or a connection to the internet, depending on your business needs. It’s a dedicated line meaning the bandwidth is all yours and you’ll benefit from consistently high speeds.

Typically, lead times for a fibre leased line connection are quoted as having a target of 30 days from order date to activation. However, this can vary for a number of different reasons, find out more here:  https://www.beaming.co.uk/knowledge-base/how-long-does-it-take-to-install-a-fibre-leased-line/ 

Bandwidth is the connection speed you purchase. The bearer is the capacity of the underlying connection.

For example, a 100Mbps service on a 1Gbps bearer provides 100Mbps of bandwidth. The larger bearer can allow a later increase, subject to the service and equipment arrangements.

Yes. Leased lines can form part of a network connecting offices, operational sites and data centres. The design depends on which systems each location needs to access and where internet access and security controls should sit.

A leased line provides dedicated, uncontended access bandwidth and symmetrical speeds. FTTP broadband typically uses shared access capacity, and upload speeds may differ from download speeds.

The right choice depends on your applications, capacity requirements, budget and the service levels your business needs.
