FTTP vs Leased Line

Explore FTTP vs Leased Line from IT Communications, with clear advice and UK-based support.

FTTP is shared broadband; a leased line is dedicated.

Fibre to the Premises uses fibre for the access connection but still operates as a contended broadband service. A leased line provides a dedicated connection with symmetrical bandwidth and a business service commitment.

FTTP is often right when...

  • Cost-effective high download speed is the priority
  • Usage can tolerate variable performance at busy times
  • A suitable backup connection is available for critical services

A leased line is often right when...

  • Predictable upload and download performance is essential
  • Cloud, voice or site-to-site traffic is business critical
  • Stronger service levels and resilience options are required

Availability, construction and lead time vary by address. Compare business broadband and fibre leased lines, then ask us to check your site.
