A leased line — also called an Ethernet Leased Line (ELL) or Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) — is a private, dedicated circuit connecting your Wolverhampton premises directly to the carrier network. Unlike broadband where bandwidth is shared between multiple customers on the same network segment, a leased line provides 1:1 contention — you always get exactly the speed you pay for, whether at 3am or Monday 9am during peak demand.
The SLA terms are fundamentally different too. Business broadband typically offers best-endeavours fault resolution. A leased line includes a 4-hour fault fix commitment with financial penalties if breached, proactive monitoring and a dedicated account manager. For businesses where broadband downtime has direct, material cost — call centres, payment processors, mission-critical cloud operations — this SLA is the primary reason to choose a leased line over FTTP.
Important: Most Wolverhampton SMEs with up to 50 staff do not need a leased line. Gigabit CityFibre FTTP with 4G failover delivers 99.9%+ effective uptime at £60-120/month total — a fraction of leased line cost. We always recommend the right product for your specific requirements, not the most expensive one.
| Feature | Leased Line | FTTP |
|---|---|---|
| Contention | 1:1 dedicated | Shared |
| Fault Fix SLA | 4 hours | Best efforts |
| Max Speed | 10 Gbps | 2.5 Gbps |
| Monthly Cost | £150-650+ | £35-80 |
| Install Time | 30-90 days | 5-20 days |
A leased line is the right choice for specific business types and operational requirements. Here is how to determine whether it is the right product for your WV business.
Guaranteed bandwidth ensures consistent VoIP quality regardless of staff headcount or call volume. No contention, no degradation during peak periods.
Mission-critical cloud ERP, IoT and SCADA systems justify leased line investment when downtime directly stops production.
Regulated firms with client portal SLAs and data security requirements benefit from the dedicated circuit and IP block a leased line provides.
NHS HSCN connectivity and clinical system SLAs may require dedicated circuits depending on the size of the practice.
High-capacity leased lines support dozens of warehouse scanners, cloud WMS and CCTV upload simultaneously without contention.
MPLS and SD-WAN leased line networks connect multiple WV locations on a private managed network. See our multi-site guide.
Leased line pricing depends primarily on two factors: the speed tier you require and the distance from your WV premises to the nearest carrier Point of Presence. WV1-WV14 generally have good carrier infrastructure with competitive pricing. More rural WV postcodes may have higher costs due to civils requirements.

About WolverhamptonFibre →A leased line (also called Ethernet Leased Line or Dedicated Internet Access) is a private dedicated circuit connecting your Wolverhampton premises directly to the carrier network. Unlike broadband where bandwidth is shared, a leased line provides 1:1 contention — you always get exactly the speed you pay for.
100 Mbps: approximately £150-280/month. 500 Mbps: £280-420/month. 1 Gbps: £380-600/month. Pricing depends on distance to the nearest carrier PoP at your WV address. We get competitive quotes from multiple carriers simultaneously.
Most SMEs with up to 50 staff do not need a leased line. Gigabit CityFibre FTTP with 4G failover delivers 99.9%+ effective uptime at £60-120/month total. Leased lines are appropriate when you have contractual bandwidth guarantees, run a call centre, or your SLA requires a 4-hour fault fix commitment.
Enterprise leased lines include a 4-hour fault fix SLA with financial penalties for non-compliance, dedicated 1:1 bandwidth, proactive monitoring, financial compensation for extended outages and a dedicated account manager.
30-90 days from order, depending on whether new civils are required. WV1-WV14 with good existing carrier infrastructure can sometimes be faster. We recommend ordering 60-90 days before you need the service active.
Leased lines are available to most WV commercial addresses. WV1-WV14 have good carrier infrastructure. Rural WV postcodes may require longer lead times or higher costs due to civils requirements.
Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) is a leased line connecting to the public internet with 1:1 dedicated bandwidth. A leased line can also connect two private endpoints. For most WV businesses needing guaranteed internet bandwidth, DIA is the correct product.
Standard leased lines range from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps. For most Wolverhampton SMEs, 100-500 Mbps is sufficient. Enterprise operations can access 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps or carrier ethernet wavelength services.
Yes — 4G failover can be added to any leased line installation. Given leased lines already carry a 4-hour fault fix SLA, failover is optional but provides belt-and-braces continuity for mission-critical operations.
Multiple carriers serve WV including BT Wholesale, Gamma, Neos Networks, ITS Technology Group and Daisy Communications. We compare pricing from all simultaneously for your specific WV address.
