Why choose a leased line?
Like any leased line service, BTnet is a larger investment for your business than a standard broadband connection, but the benefits could easily out-weigh the costs.
With BT Business Broadband, you can count on a rapid, dependable Internet connection, but there are many reasons why it's also worth thinking about a BTnet Leased Line.
When considering the type of Internet connection you need, think about these 5 questions:
1. How many users do you have?
A business broadband connection is not typically designed to be used for large offices. As the number of users in an office scales up, you are very likely to benefit from a more robust, leased line connection.
Consideration needs to be given to typical bandwidth requirement per user. If typical bandwidth requirement per user is high, then even small offices may benefit from a BTnet connection.

2. Is uploading critical to your business?
If you send large files, host data at a head office or support the demands of end users with fast download speeds, you need a large upload bandwidth to support it.
BTnet offers guaranteed symmetric upload speeds as well as download speeds.
3. Is Internet connection speed critical?
With a business broadband connection, you may notice reduction in speed during peak hours or variable line speeds at different times of the day.
BTnet Leased Lines on the other hand are fully un-contended (1:1 contention ratio) meaning you will never share the bandwidth with other Internet users.
4. How much bandwidth do you need?
Broadband speed, regardless of your provider, can be affected by your distance from the exchange, line quality, contention and other factors.
BTnet Leased Lines offer guaranteed dedicated bandwidth so your applications always have the required bandwidth to perform to their best.
5. If your connection to the Internet went down, would you lose business?
BTnet offers a market leading Service Level Agreement (SLA) including money back targets on service availability, delivery and performance. We're confident BTnet will meet and exceed your expectations, but if we don't meet our targets, we'll give you money back on a later bill.
