Reliability

The reason why a leased line is considered the best internet service for business is because it is highly reliable. Leased lines use expensive and high-grade hardware that makes it extremely reliable to use. They are usually safe against any kind of electrical interference or water ingress. Moreover, they come with Service Level Agreements or SLAs that guarantee top-notch performance and offer prompt service for any shortcoming. Cost

As already mentioned above, the cost of a leased line internet connection tends to be higher than other broadband products and services like ADSL and FTTC. However, the increased performance reliability and security that comes with it makes the investment more than worth it. Installation time

Installing a leased line internet connection can take more than a month depending on local infrastructure and the technology used. Thus, businesses should plan the installation months in advance, while keeping an effective backup plan ready.

Plan for a backup

Usually leased lines are highly resilient. But businesses should always have a backup plan ready to go to counter the downtime. It is important to have access to some backup circuit, or a broadband service even for a temporary basis. A backhaul supplier would be useful to counter any downtime as well.

Decide the kind of visibility of the circuit required

Businesses can either have a “wires only” leased line or include a managed router in the circuit. In the case of the former, the ISPs will have little visibility of the circuit which will limit how they resolve any issues. In the case of the latter, the ISPs are able to monitor the circuit from a distance.

Decide the location where the circuit is to be placed

Once the business decides on the ISP and a leased line internet plan, it needs to figure out where in the office premises it wants the circuit to be placed. Once decided, the team from the ISP will install the leased line accordingly.
