Today with the increase in Internet speeds there is a fine line and set of differences between Business Broadband and Leased Line connections. Leased Line Internet connection is ideal for Business Activities with dedicated hosted resources which need to accessed either from the Internet or VPN. Leased line internet connection and broadband connection are both delivered through fiber cables but they differ in the way it reaches the subscriber. With broadband connection you share a local cable which provides internet to all the people in the premises usually with overhead cables and GPON technology with splitters. With the leased line connection, you get dedicated fiber cables usually laid underground with redundancy and dedicated MUX or metro ring networks. Usually there is higher capex involved with dedicated hardware, power and routers.

Benefits of Leased line connections are high performance capacity, bandwidth enough for all the business activities without contention, reliability with low latency and higher SLA levels. It also provides flexibility of increasing the data volumes when needed with burstable bandwidth options and flexibility in IP address allocation and also establishing BGP if required with upstream providers. Internet Leased Lines are preferred over broadband connections for providing Internet connectivity to larger organizations like colleges, corporate offices, hospitals, etc.

Leased line ISPs should provide symmetric & dedicated Internet connections to their customers with separate fiber paths and network equipment to differentiate their service from broadband offerings. Also, ISPs should ensure 24×7 support with quick issue resolution to ensure highest uptime for Internet Leased Line customers.
