How Can Leased Line Technology Enable Individuals To Obtain A Rapid Internet Connection

Internet technology has evolved rapidly over the past decade and is still rapidly evolving. Both companies and individuals are able to access very high speeds when connecting to the internet. London boasts speeds of up to 1gbps (gigabits per second). Most of the highest speeds that are provided are more readily available in large cities. London's leased line connectivity can access a fantastic 1gbps in places which have dedicated leased line connectivity.

Traditionally internet users used a dial up connection which uses the facilities of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to establish a dialled connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) via telephone lines. With this system the user's computer or router uses an attached modem to encode and decode Internet protocol packets and convert information into a format which the computer can use. Drawbacks of the dial up connection are that is can be slow, cost a lot to download information as you often pay per megabyte that you access and because it uses the same frequency as the human voice it makes accessing the internet and calling at the same time impossible.

Currently we are use a better and faster system, that of ADSL or Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. Broadband and ADSL are capable of far higher speeds that any dial up connection could reach. This allows for constant generally uninterrupted access for your home and business to the internet Drawbacks of this line are that it almost always uses a shared connection from the data provider to the point of presence (POP). This means that you are limited in your bandwidth speeds by the company and far more by the number of people using the line at any one time.

One of the best solutions to the problem of overcrowded lines is a leased line installation. This is a private high-performance circuit leased by an internet provider between a customer and a service provider's network. Leased line connections could provide unrestricted leased connectivity to universities and companies in London. This line would be a very high speed internet connection. Leased lines are generally rented on an annual basis and usually carry voice or data or both. Leased line connections differ in that they are private lines which no one else can use and give a company unrestricted access to the internet.

The benefits of leased line technology in a busy city like London, is that it provides guaranteed bandwidth straight to the internet backbone. Leased line services include a comprehensive Service-Level Agreement (SLA) with a guaranteed fix time and a compensation clause if the line goes down. There is often built in flexibility within the leased line services. One call and a small payment and you are able to adjust the speed of your leased line to suit your company's needs.
