Leased Lines for UK Businesses
Dedicated uncontended internet with guaranteed SLA uptime
Your Own Private Internet Connection — Unshared, Uncontended, Guaranteed
A leased line is a dedicated, private internet connection that runs directly from your premises to the internet — exclusively for your business. Unlike standard broadband, which is a shared resource where bandwidth is divided amongst hundreds or thousands of users in your area, a leased line is entirely yours. No contention. No peak-time slowdowns. No sharing with neighbours or other businesses.
This uncontended architecture means you receive exactly the speed you pay for, at all times, every day of the year. Whether you are transmitting data at 2am on a Tuesday or 9am on a Monday morning, your leased line delivers the same consistent, guaranteed performance. Speeds are fully symmetrical — your upload bandwidth equals your download bandwidth — which is essential for businesses running cloud-hosted applications, conducting video conferences, or operating VoIP telephony systems.
Leased lines are provided via a dedicated physical circuit, completely separate from the public broadband network. This private connection also offers enhanced security and reliability, with a direct path to the internet that is not susceptible to the congestion and variability that affects shared broadband connections.

Who Needs a Leased Line?
Leased lines are the connectivity solution of choice for businesses where internet reliability is not optional — it is fundamental to operations. Any organisation that cannot afford downtime, suffers from the inconsistency of shared broadband, or requires guaranteed upload speeds will find a leased line transformative.
VoIP Telephony: Businesses running IP-based phone systems require stable, low-latency connectivity. A leased line eliminates call quality issues such as jitter, drop-outs, and echo that can affect VoIP over standard broadband.
Cloud ERP and CRM Systems: Organisations running cloud-hosted enterprise software such as SAP, Sage, or Salesforce need fast, consistent upload speeds to ensure staff can work efficiently without delays.
Multi-Site Businesses: Companies linking multiple locations via SD-WAN or MPLS networks require the reliability and symmetrical performance that only a leased line can provide.
Video Production and Media: Studios and production companies regularly upload large video files to cloud storage or client platforms, making fast, reliable upload speeds essential.
Financial Services and Trading: Financial institutions and trading firms demand the lowest possible latency and highest possible reliability — leased lines are the only appropriate solution for these environments.
Data Centres and Co-Location: Any business operating server infrastructure, whether on-premises or in a co-location facility, requires the dedicated bandwidth and uptime guarantees that a leased line delivers.
Leased Line Costs for UK Businesses
Leased line pricing in the UK varies based on several key factors: the speed of the connection, your location relative to the nearest exchange or point of presence, the chosen provider, and the contract length. As a general guide, a 100Mbps leased line in an urban area typically starts from around £200–£350 per month, while the same speed in a rural or harder-to-reach location may be £350–£500 or more per month due to the additional infrastructure required.
Faster speeds — 1Gbps connections, for example — command a premium but offer exceptional value for data-intensive businesses. Installation costs, where applicable, vary by provider and location; some providers offer reduced or waived installation fees on longer contract terms.
Lead times for leased line installation are typically between 30 and 90 days, depending on the complexity of the installation and whether any civils work — such as new duct laying — is required. The process includes a site survey, design phase, and physical installation, all of which Just Connectivity manages on your behalf from start to finish. Contact us today for a tailored quote.
