Business leased line costs explained
A leased line gives your business a dedicated, guaranteed connection, but the price varies enormously. OptiFlow Watch checks what you pay, finds a better deal and guarantees a saving, for a flat £49.99 a month.
What a leased line costs
A leased line is a dedicated internet connection reserved for your business, with the same speed up and down and a guaranteed service level, unlike shared broadband. That reliability is why busier sites take one, but the price depends on your location, the speed you take and how far you are from the network, so two similar businesses can pay very different amounts for the same thing. Prices also tend to stay put once signed, even as the market gets cheaper, so a line taken a few years ago is often well above what it would cost today.
OptiFlow Watch checks your connectivity the way it checks energy. It reads what you pay, compares the market and moves you to a better deal at the right speed, then keeps watching so you are not overpaying as prices fall.
As a guide, business leased lines commonly run from around £175 a month for 100 units of speed up to £450 a month or more for a full gig, before location and install. Figures are illustrative only and vary by location, speed and provider.
Why businesses overpay
Old pricing
Lines signed years ago sit well above what the same speed costs today.
Wrong speed
Paying for more capacity than the site uses, or the wrong product entirely.
Auto renewals
Contracts that roll over quietly rather than being retendered.
