In this digital era having a secure and reliable internet connection is the need of every business. Unfortunately, the conventional broadband connection can not meet the bandwidth requirements of critical internet businesses. According to a recent survey, 75% of businesses state that loss in profitability is due to a bad internet connection. That is why businesses need a dedicated, secure and reliable connectivity solution. A leased line connection is becoming popular among businesses because it meets all the internet connectivity requirements by corporate companies and helps them improve their business performance and productivity.

More and more businesses are shifting to leased lines from traditional business broadbands. If you consider purchasing a leased line connection, read on to know how you can get it. 

  1. Types Of Leased Line

There are multiple types of a leased line like:

What Is The Buying Process Of A Leased Line?

There are many leased line providers in the UK, so first of all, you have to shop around and find a provider that offers the best services at a competitive rate. Before choosing a provider, you must ask the provider how they will assist you in installing a connection, how resilient their service is, how they will support you and how they handle any backup service.

Once you select a provider, you have to fill an application form and provide all the information such as the location of your premises, how much bandwidth and speed you need and how many users you have on your premises. After looking at your application, the leased line provider will give you a quote according to your requirements. 

After getting the quotes, you can accept it if it meets your requirements and fill an order form. After that, many activities happen in the background to provide a leased line connection to your premises. 

You have to choose a point in your building where the circuit will terminate. As a part of the installation process, an engineer will visit your business location or premises to plan how to get fibre optic cable from the exchange to your building and then to the termination point. If you change your terminal point during the process, it can cause delays in installation and also increase the installation cost. 

If you run your business in a rented property, you have to take the building owner's permission. So that the installation process can start, if your landlord insists on completing the legal paperwork for this purpose, it will slow down the installation process. 

You have to pay a specific amount for the set up of fibre optic cables. However, if you have to pay any additional cost, it is known as Excess Construction Cost. A provider can not guarantee whether any of such charges will apply to your installation or not before the installation. 

However, you have 3o days to decide whether you want to pay these charges or cancel the order without any penalty. 

The installation time of a leased line connection depends on different factors such as local infrastructure and the location of the premises. Usually, it takes 45 to 9o working days in fibre optic leased line installation. 

We hope that you can now understand the process of getting a fibre optic leased line connection and quickly shift to a dedicated connection.
