Unlike standard broadband, you don't share it with anyone — which means guaranteed speeds and near-perfect reliability. Here's how it works, what it costs and whether you need one.
When you order standard business broadband, your connection runs along shared infrastructure. Dozens of nearby businesses and homes share the same bandwidth — meaning speeds fluctuate, particularly at peak times.
A leased line is different. A physical fibre optic cable runs directly from a network exchange to your premises — and that connection is yours alone. No sharing, no contention, no peak-time slowdowns.

Leased line pricing has fallen dramatically over the past decade. In 2026, a typical 100Mbps leased line starts from around £199–£299 per month. Speeds and prices:
Price varies based on your location, distance from the nearest exchange and whether civil engineering work is needed. Telexico provides a free site survey and exact quote before any commitment.
A leased line is the right choice for businesses where internet connectivity is genuinely business-critical:
Leased line installation involves Openreach (or an alternative network) laying fibre to your building. The process typically takes 30–90 days from order to go-live, depending on whether civil works are needed. Steps:

|---|---|---|
| Connection type | Dedicated (uncontended) | Shared (contended) |
| Speed | Symmetric — same up & down | Asymmetric — faster down |
| Uptime guarantee | 99.9% SLA with fix times | Best efforts, no SLA |
| Typical speeds | 100Mbps to 10Gbps | 50Mbps to 1Gbps |
| Fault fix time | 4–8 hours contractual | Next working day, best efforts |
| Price | From £199/mo | From £29.99/mo |
| Best for | Business-critical connectivity | Standard office use |
