What is the best internet connection for your small business?
In our modern, fast-paced world, large and small businesses alike are wholly reliant on their internet connectivity to get through the day. From scheduling fully automated offsite backups to setting up VoIP telephony, there is a vast range of services even the smallest of organisations rely on. These bandwidth-thirsty digital solutions and assets are entirely dependent on a secure, fast internet connection. Without the security and reliability of a stable internet connection, both large and small organisations alike risk their business continuity and productivity.
If your business is looking for the best internet connection, you might like to consider a leased line. In short, a leased line is a kind of private network a business can use to maintain and manage a variety of different data-centric services. Reliable, secure and readily available to large and small businesses alike, a stable, fast leased line can take the hassle out of internet connectivity by giving you and your team access to an exclusive internet connection.
What is a leased line?
A leased line is a high-capacity, symmetrical fibre connection leased exclusively to you and your business by your internet service provider (ISP). Essentially, it gives bandwidth-hungry businesses access to a high-quality, reliable internet connection with quick upload and download speeds. This is in contrast to traditional, commercial broadband where several households share one cable.
If your business is using broadband and a commercial modem, you may be asking yourself why anybody would seek out an alternative. It’s important to ask yourself…
- Does your broadband deliver the level of performance you expect?
- Are you experiencing frequent downtime?
- Does the quality of your internet get in the way of you and your team getting through your daily tasks?
If you answered yes to even one of these questions, you might like to consider upgrading your business internet to a leased line. For more information about leased lines, and how they compare to more traditional alternatives, we’ve put together this blog post that details the differences between broadband and leased line internet connectivity.
What are the benefits of a leased line?
With a leased line, your download and upload speeds are equal. This allows you to transfer large amounts of data at the same speed, without threatening the performance of your internet connection. Perhaps the most pertinent to businesses looking to maximise productivity and put an end to operational downtime, nobody else will have access to or share your leased internet connection. Your business operations will benefit from 100% of the available bandwidth which can nurture growth, maximise productivity and cement continuity in the day-to-day tasks of you and your employees. A leased line is particularly important for businesses who opt for bandwidth-intensive digital solutions, such as telephony or scheduled offsite backups.
