Leased line

A leased line is a symmetric Internet connection, i.e. identical upstream and downstream with a guaranteed bandwidth.

This is different from normal xDSL or Internet lines provided to private customers. With these lines, only the maximum downstream is specified and advertised. This is due to the fact that in the private customer sector, the bandwidths for data transmitted to the Internet are not generally subjected to high demands.

Colloquially, we consider a leased line to be a pure Internet connection for companies or for Network Services for a branch office or store with the central MPLS or VPN network.

Leased Line – An Overview

In general, a leased line is implemented using copper with a bandwidth of up to 10 Mbit/s and fiber glass for higher bandwidths. The benefit of fiber glass over copper is, on the one hand, the higher bandwidth, but also the much higher reliability.

What is important is that SLAs can guarantee high availabilities of up to 99.9 % thus keeping the risk of failures low. We recommend that companies that use critical applications implement a back-up line via SDSL or LTE in order to achieve optimum redundancy.

In addition to the Deutsche Telekom with its product Company Connect, a number of other providers have established themselves on the communications market. To name a few: Colt, QSC, Vodafone, Ecotel, etc. You can find a more detailed list of all of the providers and their products in the next section. A comparison is worth it. Not only to determine potential cost differences, but also to determine the differences in SLAs, additional options or bundle products such as telephony or VoIP.

If the costs of a leased line are to high for your company or is not necessary for business reasons, we recommend either an SDSL or wireless local loop (WLL) connection.
