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.
