Guaranteed 1:1 uncontended internet access for Wolverhampton businesses requiring consistent bandwidth performance.
Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) is the enterprise-grade internet connectivity product that guarantees your business exactly the bandwidth you pay for — at all times, regardless of other network users. Unlike standard business FTTP where bandwidth is shared across the carrier's infrastructure, DIA circuits are 1:1 uncontended.
In practical terms: on a 500 Mbps DIA circuit, you get 500 Mbps at 9am on a Monday morning, during a major sporting event, at end of financial year when every cloud application is under peak load. The speed doesn't vary. This is the fundamental difference from shared broadband, regardless of how it is marketed.
WolverhamptonFibre sources DIA from all major carriers serving the WV area — CityFibre Ethernet, BT Business leased lines, Virgin Media Business DIA and alternative carriers. Pricing varies significantly by location and carrier infrastructure proximity.

Business FTTP is a shared service. Dozens to hundreds of local businesses share the same fibre infrastructure. During peak hours, all of them compete for the same bandwidth. Most of the time, this doesn't matter — CityFibre's WV network is well-provisioned and most WV businesses experience excellent consistent speeds.
But shared broadband cannot make a guarantee. If your operations require a specific minimum bandwidth at all times, only a DIA/leased line circuit can provide it with a contractual commitment.
DIA is appropriate for: call centres and contact centres with 20+ agents where VoIP quality is non-negotiable; financial services businesses with real-time data requirements; operations under SLA to clients requiring specific uptime guarantees; large offices with 50+ staff running cloud-heavy workloads; data centres and co-location facilities.
100 Mbps DIA: £150–280/month. 500 Mbps DIA: £280–480/month. 1 Gbps DIA: £380–650/month. Pricing depends heavily on existing carrier infrastructure near your premises. WV1 city centre premises typically have the most competitive DIA pricing due to multiple carriers' presence.
The honest assessment: for the majority of WV SMEs, DIA is not necessary. Gigabit FTTP plus 4G failover delivers effective uptime exceeding 99.9% at £65–120/month — sufficient for virtually all standard business operations.
DIA justifies its premium only when: bandwidth guarantees are contractually required by clients; operations would incur significant financial cost if internet degraded during peak hours; or the business processes real-time transactions where latency or throughput variation has direct consequences.
We will always give you an honest assessment of whether DIA is justified for your specific WV business — not a recommendation based on commission.
DIA installation follows the same process as a leased line. We conduct a site survey, obtain quotes from relevant carriers with existing infrastructure near your address, present options with honest analysis, and manage the full installation process.
Typical lead time is 6–12 weeks. In WV1 city centre and major business parks (i54, Hilton Cross) where multiple carriers have existing Ethernet infrastructure, timelines can be shorter. We confirm at quote acceptance.

Technically, DIA is a dedicated internet circuit (1:1 contended). A leased line is the physical circuit — DIA is delivered over a leased line. In practice, the terms are often used interchangeably for dedicated 1:1 business internet access.
Yes — most major WV business parks have DIA available from multiple carriers. We check your specific unit and compare carrier pricing.
Typically 99.95–99.99% uptime guarantee with 4-hour fault fix. Financial compensation applies if SLA targets are missed.
