Get a RecommendationBusiness Fibre Broadband
If your team uses Microsoft 365, cloud apps, VoIP and remote access, fibre is usually the best balance of speed and cost. We’ll help you choose the right product and set it up properly.
Two ways to buy fibre
- 18-month contract (best value): ideal when you’re settled and want the strongest deal.
- Rolling monthly (max flexibility): perfect for short leases, site offices, or when you don’t want a long commitment.
Good fit when you…
- Want reliable business internet without leased line cost
- Use Teams/VoIP, cloud apps, remote access
- Need a straightforward install & quick go-live
Leased Lines (Dedicated Internet)
A leased line is a dedicated circuit just for your business — no sharing, no peak-time slowdown, and typically symmetrical speeds. If connectivity is business-critical, this is the “do it once, do it right” option.
Good fit when you…
- Rely heavily on Teams/VoIP, VPNs, cloud apps, or multi-site connectivity
- Need predictable performance for larger teams
- Want SLAs and faster fix times
What installation looks like
- Order → survey → install → test → handover
- We coordinate providers and keep you updated
- We’ll explain anything unusual (like extra civils costs) before you commit
Resilient Connectivity (Recommended)
Even great connections fail sometimes — the goal is to stay online anyway. We can configure automatic failover and alerting so you’re not finding out from angry staff.
- Fibre + 4G/5G backup
- Fibre + secondary broadband line
- Dual circuits (diverse routes/providers) for high-availability sites

- Plain-English answers: cost, timescales, and what to expect
Connectivity FAQs
What’s the difference between fibre broadband and a leased line?
Fibre broadband is shared (contended) and usually cheaper. A leased line is dedicated (uncontended), typically symmetrical, and comes with stronger SLAs.
Do I need a leased line for Microsoft 365 and Teams?
Not always. Many SMEs run perfectly on fibre. Leased lines become more valuable when uptime/performance is critical or your user count and cloud usage is high.
How do I choose the right speed for my number of users?
It depends on what you do: Teams calls, VPN usage, cloud file access, backups, and number of sites. Tell us your apps + users and we’ll recommend a sensible range.
What is “contended” broadband and why does it matter?
Contended means you share capacity with others, so speeds can vary at peak times. Leased lines are uncontended, so performance is more consistent.
What are ECCs (Excess Construction Charges)?
Sometimes leased line builds need extra civils work. Providers may quote additional construction costs. We’ll explain this early so there are no surprises.
Can you supply a static IP and set up VPN access?
Yes — we can supply static IPs (where available) and configure secure remote access/VPN on your router/firewall.
Can you provide automatic failover (backup internet)?
Yes — we can configure fibre with 4G/5G or a second line, with automatic failover and alerting.
Can you manage the firewall/router as part of IT support?
Yes — we can manage the connection end-to-end as part of your managed services, including monitoring, firmware updates and security configuration.
