Also referred to as WES / LES lines, a leased line is a symmetric data line connecting two locations or a business premises to the internet ‘back bone’.

Leased lines offer inherent security as no special provisions are required in order to prevent exposure to the public internet. In addition, they may be partitioned into segregated portions for data and voice and therefore consolidate a business’ delivery network.

Perhaps most importantly, leased lines typically come with a service level agreements of a four-hour fault and fix response time and up to 100% service up time guarantee.
