Leased Lines

What are they?

A leased line is a highly reliable, dedicated business Internet connection, available in speeds ranging from 256kbps up to 1Gbps. With superior service level guaranteed to either ADSL or SDSL, a leased line offers fully 1:1 contented, synchronous Internet access at incredibly fast speeds.

Who needs them?

Anyone who is reliant on the Internet for their business will benefit from a Kent IT leased line. Companies, public bodies or other organisations that require;

• Online transactions 24x7 to support their business model.
   
• High availability and super fast access to web sites or mail servers hosted at their premises.
   
• In excess of 2Mbps Internet access to their offices
   
• Fast access to a secondary data centre site for business continuity applications.
   
• High bandwidth at a later date with the option to scale bandwidth rapidly as demand increases.
   
• Higher service level performance than available by alternative connections (ADSL/SDSL etc.)

A leased line will connect you directly to Kent IT and its strategic partner’s network and enable your staff to work more effectively and more productively.

With a leased line you have full use of all the Internet bandwidth all of the time, so you don't share it with at least another 20 companies, as you may do with ADSL.

How do they work?

Kent IT will supply either a direct local access circuit or may use another telecommunications provider to supply a dedicated point-to-point circuit between your office and the nearest point of presence. This circuit acts as your own dedicated pipe to the Internet and is fully monitored 24x7 by both Kent IT and the access circuit provider to ensure it is available for your business at all times.
