Connectivity

The benefits of a managed network service with Boxx

by

How much of your IT network activity are you tracking? Would you be able to tell which devices are connected, or the status of any backups? If you’ve not got a grip on the activity and health of your network, then problems will arise.

As we continue to be more and more reliant on internet connectivity and remote networks, it’s important to make sure your network is properly managed and monitored. 

Not only this, but businesses need a contingency plan in place should your internet disconnect, or your hardware lets you down. We’re going to talk you through how Boxx can monitor and upkeep the health of your network, and rapidly resolve internet issues that could impact your business.

What is Boxx’s managed network service and how does it work?

Our Managed Network Service is a cloud-based solution designed to optimise your network and ensure it performs efficiently and effectively.

The first thing we do is we put together a map of all the devices that are connected to your IT network. Then, we dig deep, conducting an audit of your IT infrastructure and getting to the nitty gritty of your network performance. All of this is handled remotely, so you won’t experience any disruption. 

Beyond the onboarding, we’re monitoring firewalls, switches, and access points remotely, which means your business can continue to operate, safe in the knowledge that we’re tracking your defences and keeping you secure.

Our proactive monitoring means we’ll notice faults almost instantly and provide the expert support needed to resolve them. Alongside security, we can also monitor the uptime of critical servers. From inventory reporting to policy violation audits, a network management service has many tools to help keep your business efficient and safe, you can find out more about MNS here.

Our network management offers a broad scope of advantages and benefits. 

What are the benefits of Boxx’s managed network service?

There’s a whole host of reasons to have managed network services. Here are some of the key benefits. 

  • Reliability – proactive monitoring of your systems allows problems to be anticipated before they have an impact on you.
  • Cost-effective – it’s an affordable option for SMEs that provides ways to optimise performance and save valuable company time and resources. 
  • Flexibility – don’t have an in-house IT team? No problem, we work alongside internal teams to deliver the right blended service for you. 
  • Peace of mind – nobody likes to feel vulnerable. Network management means network security, staying ahead of possible threats before they cause damage, and with managed back-ups at the ready when needed.
  • Easy and fast troubleshooting – because we’re proactively monitoring and optimising your network, we’re able to troubleshoot problems and fix them – pronto!

How we’re providing FTTP to Milton Keynes

by

You’re in the middle of a business video call when suddenly – your internet drops. Does this sound familiar? Without realising it, we’ve been conditioned to expect inconsistent connectivity. It’s out of your control, but begrudgingly accepted. 

The working landscape has evolved – remote and hybrid working is here to stay, and now more than ever, it’s essential that businesses have consistent speeds and reliable connectivity.

It’s good news for UK businesses, as networks continue to expand their FTTP connectivity upgrades across the UK. And here at Boxx, one of the ways in which we’re championing this effort is by partnering with CityFibre, with the goal of bringing more fibre broadband options to our Milton Keynes customers.

How does FTTP work differently to other connections? 

FTTP (fibre to the premises) is a level up from FTTC (fibre to the cabinet). To explain how, let’s quickly recap how FTTC works. With FTTC, you get a fibre cable from the exchange to the green roadside cabinet. From there, it’s a copper wire from the cabinet to your premises. 

FTTP is an upgrade because it’s all fibre – from the exchange to the cabinet, and from there to your premises (hence the name!) This is why you’ll sometimes hear people call it full-fibre broadband. The important detail is that fibre cables send data much faster and more reliably than copper ones. 

So, FTTP has some major benefits. It offers faster internet speeds, with a lot less chance of noticeable slowdowns. Meanwhile, it’s futureproof. The UK’s copper PSTN network is being switched off, and should be fully deactivated by 2025. With a full-fibre connection, you’re getting ahead of that.  

Does FTTP offer gigabit-capable broadband? 

Yes! FTTP does allow for gigabit-capable broadband. When talking about gigabit-capable broadband, we’re referring to speeds of at least 1 gigabit-per-second. It gets a bit technical, but essentially, you could download an entire HD movie in 60 seconds. 

Is FTTP available in Milton Keynes?

Yes, FTTP is available in Milton Keynes. Providers like CityFibre have been busy installing the infrastructure across the UK, and Milton Keynes is their flagship city. With BT FTTP all over, that means MK is quite far ahead of many parts of the country.

FTTP isn’t available in every part of Milton Keynes, but that’s changing. Unsure if it’s available in your part of the city? Get in touch! Here at Boxx, we’re proud to be CityFibre City Champions for Milton Keynes. We’d like to think that marks us as experts on what’s available, and what’s best for our Milton Keynes customers. 

What does Boxx’s partnership with CityFibre mean for Milton Keynes?

Our goal is to bring the best connectivity solutions, at the best value to businesses in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area. 

We have been delivering high bandwidth solution to big customers for years, and now we can provide FTTP there is a solution for everyone from single employee owner run businesses to large corporates and everything in between. 

CityFibre’s ‘FTTP for Business’ product uses CityFibre’s revolutionary full fibre network. This connectivity solution offers unlimited usage, a gigabit-capable connection, and different bandwidth options. 

We’re excited to partner with a network that will not only provide top of the line broadband in Milton Keynes, but exceptional VoIP call quality for remote business communications. CityFibre offer an end-to-end fibre connection, at affordable pricing. 

The importance of strong business broadband in a digitally evolving world

We rely heavily on internet in our day to day lives, and that’s only set to increase. As the UK becomes more digitalised, businesses need to have sustained internet and upload/download speeds to function effectively. 

It’s not only important for staying competitive in your industry, but it’s also essential for productivity. If your connectivity setup is impacting your employees’ ability to get tasks done, this directly affects your company’s output.

You may be a data-hungry film company that needs secure, fast, consistent upload connection. Or you may be a community service needing quick access to patient files and data. 

Regardless, time is money. But it’s not just about productivity, it’s about facilitating strong communication tools to stay connected with clients, co-workers, and suppliers in a digitally led society.

 

How we can help you harness the future of FTTP 

Fibre is the future. And once rolled out across the whole country, there will be lots of new options, tiers, and packages to navigate.

Here at Boxx, we make this easy. We’re here to help onboard you to full fibre and guide you through the process of choosing a network and installing a service that’s right for your business. 

How do we do this? Well, we aren’t tied to any network operator. Our customers now receive broadband connectivity quotes for all the major networks, BT, TalkTalk, Vodafone and CityFibre and more. This maximises coverage and expands your options. One call to Boxx, and you can get access to any of the networks available in your location.

Final thoughts

UK broadband is going through a transformation. And as networks raise their broadband game, it’s time for you to raise your expectations. Soon, the new norm will be a better standard of connectivity not just in Milton Keynes, but across all regions of the UK.

We’re passionate about helping local businesses navigate the ever-evolving world of broadband connectivity. We believe in the future of FTTP capability for all organisations, big or small, and are proud to offer a multi-quote service to find the right solution for you.

If you’re a Milton Keynes business and you’d like to find out more, discuss your broadband package, or help with future proofing your business’s connectivity, get in touch.

A guide to internet connectivity for Milton Keynes businesses

Guide to business connectivity for Milton Keynes businesses

Milton Keynes is home to an amazing diversity of businesses. And whatever their sector and size, they all need a strong internet connection. We love helping businesses across Milton Keynes find the perfect connectivity solution for their individual needs.

The challenge is figuring out what type of connection is best. There’s such an array of choice and providers that it can start to get overwhelming.

Full-fibre broadband connections like FTTP are widely available in Milton Keynes now. But is that actually right for your business? There’s a lot to consider, and that’s where we can help. Boxx Communications are proud to be a Milton Keynes business, and we support other businesses throughout the city.

We know the options, and we know how to tailor them to you. Are you considering changing the way you connect? The first step is knowing what types of connectivity are available. With that in mind, here’s our rundown of some of the most popular internet solutions, and how we’ve successfully onboarded multiple Milton Keynes businesses to these connections.

1.    Leased lines

We’re starting with a premium option. A leased line is an Ethernet connection that goes straight to your premises. Unlike broadband connections, leased lines are uncontended. 

What that means is that you’re not sharing bandwidth with anyone else. It’s your own private connection. That means guaranteed speeds and higher security. You can get speeds of up to 10Gbps. And yes, they’re available in Milton Keynes! 

Who are leased lines for? The obvious answer is larger businesses. If you have a large number of users connected to the internet at any one time, you need to make sure you have enough bandwidth for them. Otherwise, everything you do online will be slowed down. 

It’s not just big businesses though. For instance, leased lines are great for anyone who regularly uploads and downloads very large files. Let’s say you’re a video production company. Chances are you’re regularly transferring huge files. This will be a lot quicker on a leased line. 

They’re also good for shared office spaces, where you need to provide a reliable connection to lots of different businesses and freelancers. 

However, leased lines are generally more expensive than most other options. You need to be sure that you need all those benefits to justify the price. Want to learn more? We delve into the pros and cons of leased lines here.

2.    Ethernet Flex 

Here’s a scenario. Mostly, your internet usage is pretty stable. But sometimes, your need for speed and bandwidth suddenly shoots up. This is a common issue, and it poses a dilemma. 

Option one is to go for a connection that meets your normal needs. Then in those busier times, your bandwidth is choked and it slows down for everyone. Option two is to get a connection that covers the busier times. The trouble here is that most of the time, you’re overpaying. 

That’s where Ethernet Flex comes in. It’s a standard connection with the capability to boost your internet speed, on the fly, from 200Mbps to 1Gbps. It’s completely automatic. Whenever you need it, it kicks in – with no need to request it, and no extra charge.

For those needing a flexible approach, Ethernet Flex could be your knight in shining armour. Here at Boxx, we monitor the performance of the speeds to ensure you’re receiving the necessary boost when you need it. 

If you want to see this broadband type in action, check out our case study on how we provided Ethernet Flex to Fossil Watches in Milton Keynes.

3.    FTTP 

FTTP stand for fibre to the premises. This is a form of full fibre broadband. That means it’s fibre-optic cables all the way: from the exchange, via the green cabinet, to your premises. 

Unlike leased lines, it’s a contended connection. That means it’s shared with other users, so speeds aren’t guaranteed and can reduce during busy periods. Still, it’s a great way to connect. Speeds can reach 1Gbps, which is more than enough for many businesses. 

That’s thanks to the fibre cables. Fibre carries data much faster than the copper PSTN wires that make up the UK’s legacy infrastructure. In addition, that PSTN infrastructure is being phased out across the country. By 2025, it should all be gone. 

Since FTTP doesn’t rely on PSTN, it’s futureproof too. It’s also available in many parts of Milton Keynes. Three networks are providing it in total, and they each have different levels of coverage across the city. 

Here at Boxx, we can provide FTTP via all of them. That means we can offer more coverage at the fairest price. If you’re a Milton Keynes business looking for full-fibre broadband, get in touch!

4.    SoGEA

Another full-fibre option is SoGEA (Single Order Generic Ethernet Access). SoGEA is a service that provides broadband connectivity without the phone line.

In case you’re wondering, you can still make calls. You’d just be routing them online. If you already have a VoIP phone system, you’re doing this already! The lack of a phone line is a real benefit, because it reduces the cost and complexity of installation. 

SoGEA is really a replacement for FTTC, which we’ll be discussing next. Unlike FTTC, it doesn’t require PSTN wires. That makes it futureproof, and it also tends to offer better speeds and bandwidth than FTTC. 

It’s less expensive than the options we’ve discussed so far as well. This makes it a great option for smaller business that don’t need the performance levels offered by leased lines or FTTP.

5.    FTTC

FTTC (fibre to the cabinet) uses a mix of fibre and copper cables. It’s fibre from the exchange to the green cabinet, and then copper from there to your premises. 

There are upsides and downsides here. FTTC is great for less data-hungry businesses, and the presence of fibre makes it much faster than an all copper connection. It’s also widely available, with good coverage across Milton Keynes. 

But, like we’ve mentioned, those copper cables will be decommissioned by 2025. That means it isn’t futureproof. On top of that, it’s more prone to slow-downs than FTTP. They’re both contended connections, but that makes a bigger difference with FTTC due to the copper cables. Speeds can slow down at busy times of day.

6.    ADSL

ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) is full copper broadband and is the predecessor to fibre broadband. It was a game-changer when it launched back in 2000 – just ask anyone who remembers dial-up! 

However, technology moves on. ADSL is all copper, which means it’s being phased out. It’s still available for now, and it will enable you to do the basics like browsing the internet and managing emails. 

Still, most businesses in Milton Keynes need a lot more out of the internet than that. We’re in the age of cloud services, video calls and the internet of things. ADSL just isn’t built for it. 

We’ve helped countless Milton Keynes businesses transition to a more future-proof connectivity solution. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the options, we’re here to make it easy. Contact us here.

Final thoughts

Working out what connectivity solution is right for you means asking what the needs of your business are, and how these might scale over time. That’s something we can help answer.

We’re proud to be based in Milton Keynes, helping businesses in our community to thrive in a digital age. But not only do we have the expertise to help – we are also not tied to any one network. One call to us, and we can quote for any service available to you in your area. This means more coverage across multiple postcodes.

Fossil UK: Case Study

by

The Background

Fossil Group Inc are a global company renowned for designing, developing, producing, and distributing watches as well as many other accessories. They’re an innovative company with decades of experience who own and partner with many world class brands.

The Challenge

This year, whilst there is still some uncertainty about what lies ahead, we can be sure of the necessity to embrace the digital world and be flexible if we want our businesses to grow and thrive.

Fossil were faced with moving to a new office and needed to improve their connectivity, step away from the use of landlines, and switch over to VoIP. Their previous services were confusing and complicated, and provided by multiple suppliers.

Fossil were told upfront by the landlord to expect to need a Wayleave agreement to bring new fibre connectivity into the building, and this as a result could delay installation. Additionally, they wanted two diverse connections. Two diverse connections means using two suppliers, and two networks entering from different sides of the building. This potentially adds more complexity to the order process to achieve extra reliability in the final delivery.

Moving their UK head office to central Milton Keynes, Fossil had a few additional requirements beyond the technical aspect that they wanted to accomplish. It was important for them to use a local provider and improve their account management by speaking to a real person who understands the needs of their business.

David Haddon, the facilities manager for Fossil was responsible for sourcing a local provider, who knew the local landscape and could offer the right solution for their needs.

The Solution

When Fossil got in contact and explained their situation and challenge, we were confident we could provide them with a far better solution. Our first step was understanding the specific needs of their business and day to day usage. Initially, Fossil thought they’d need a 1GB leased line, but after assessing their needs we recommended an Ethernet Flex connection.

An Ethernet Flex connection provides them with 200Mbps bandwidth as standard, but also has the capability to burst to 1Gbps when needed without the team having to do anything. Fossil’s office set up can have up to 30 users working at a time, with the main usage being for video calls and day to day admin with a low amount of streaming. Ethernet Flex was the perfect solution for them.

We installed the connection quickly, completing prior to the office move date, giving Fossil peace of mind that they would have zero down time in the move. Since the install, we continue to monitor their connection, on a couple of occasions we noticed the connection was down and were proactive in alerting them to the problem. On both occasions a local power outage was the cause, rather than any fault of the line and our team were able to help get Fossil back online quickly.

The Feedback

Facilities manager, David Haddon, has given us some fantastic feedback.

I cannot fault the service Boxx has provided Fossil. When I was looking for a local provider one of my main goals was to have a real person really listen and understand what we needed. This is exactly what we got from Dean and the team at Boxx. From our initial conversation, I knew Boxx were the right choice, being seen as a real human and not just another sale is exactly what we were looking for.

I cannot fault the product or service from Boxx, they are proactive, honest, and professional, and our connectivity is vastly superior to what we were previously using. It’s rare, but if there have been any issues, all I need to do is ring up, have a chat, and by the end of the conversation the problem is being resolved. We are getting exactly what we wanted and couldn’t ask for more.

Trusting Dean and the Boxx team complicitly, I am keen to involve them in future ventures at Fossil and couldn’t recommend them enough to other companies

What’s the recommended internet speed for a small business

by

How do you decide what connection and internet speed is suitable for your small business?

It’s more complicated than it may seem at first sight. If you go too low spec to save on costs, you’ll end up slowing yourself down. That means lower productivity, which defeats the whole purpose of saving costs. But there’s just as much risk of overpaying for performance you just don’t need.

It’s important to get your internet connection right, but how do small businesses even decide? Once you start diving into tech specs across multiple providers, it can start to get overwhelming. That’s where we come in!

Proudly based in Milton Keynes, we’ve helped countless businesses in the area answer these difficult questions. We’ve got the expertise to provide the speed you need within your budget. This post looks at some of the things we’d consider. 

Internet speed – the basics

There are things you need to consider when deciding what the ideal connection and speed is for your business needs.

The first consideration is bandwidth. Bandwidth is the maximum download and upload capacity of an internet connection over a specific amount of time. Bandwidth is measured in megabits per second (Mbps), and calculated on the assumption of only one device downloading or uploading files at any one time.

The higher the number of Mbps, the faster the internet speed. However, if for example the bandwidth provides 5Mbps for one user, you have to take into consideration that the 5Mbps will be shared between additional users, reducing the speed. Think of a motorway, it may have multiple lanes, offering a fast route, but, as more cars join the road, speed will be affected.

Let’s look at important factors that determine the sort of connection you should be looking at.

Your location

Where your business is located can affect the connections available to you. If you’re unable to get full fibre, there are solutions. Boxx can provide dongles which connect you to 4G and 5G if your connection is interrupted.

Number of staff

The more staff you have that require access to the internet the more Mbps you will need.

What you do

Are you a data hungry business?

The more data usage your business requires, the more Mbps you will need. A good example of a business which would require a high-speed internet is a call centre. With a high number of people using the phone lines and internet means they would need significant connection speeds.

The future

It’s sensible to think about your internet connection needs now as a business and what you will require in the future. If you’re planning to expand your team and use of the internet in the coming months and years, it’s a good idea to look at flexible and scalable packages.

Types of connection

Like we’ve already discussed, internet speed will relate to the number of users, devices, and the main activity of your business. It’s also important to have the right type of connection. Here’s a quick rundown of the options.

ADSL

An Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is a broadband connection that works with the copper wires of existing phones lines. ADSLs are suitable for small businesses who need the internet to complete simple daily office tasks and communications. All ADSL services will stop working as part of the 2025 switch-off, and in many areas you can no longer buy ADSL as part of BT’s “stop sell”

Any ADSL Lines, will need to be replaced by other services such as SoGEA or FTTP before Dec 2025.

FTTC

Fibre-to-the-cabinet uses fibre optic cables to bring super-fast broadband to fibre cabinets, which are connected to roadside cabinets (those dark green boxes at the end of the street). Businesses and homes are then connected to the cabinet with copper wires, and the service is then connected to fibre back to the exchange.  

FTTC is suitable for small businesses seeking fast, cost effective and reliable internet connections. It is an effective connection for voice and data communications. However, alongside ADSL, it will be phased out as part of the 2025 switch-off and replaced by SoGEA or FTTP.

FTTP

Fibre-to-the-premises provides a dedicated fibre connection that runs from the exchange to your premises.

FTTP can provide far higher speeds than FTTC. It’s suitable for businesses that require multiple devices to be in use at the same time. Generally, FTTP service are offered with faster download than upload speeds – though it is possible to find offers with equal speeds in both directions.

SoGEA

Single Order Generic Ethernet Access lets your business have a broadband connection without a phone line.

Like FTTC, it uses the copper wires from roadside cabinet to connect to premises. Unlike FTTC, it doesn’t provide a voice line and is used for data connection only. It can lower your costs and won’t be affected by the switch from voice lines in 2025.

G.Fast

G.Fast is a faster version of FTTC. A device is fitted in the cabinet which increases the speed at which data travels down the wires. It is only beneficial to businesses which are close to the cabinet, which represents a small percentage of properties in the UK. So, although G.Fast is excellent value for money, it’s not accessible to most people. Like FTTC, it is being phased out and will no longer be available after 2025.

Leased lines

Whether you’re a small or big business, if you require an uninterrupted speed and connection then it is worth considering a dedicated leased line. A leased line is an uncontended, symmetrical connection, which means upload and download speeds match.

Unlike other internet connections, such as broadband or ADSL, leased lines are not shared with other users, so the bandwidth and speed are consistent and guaranteed. This means that leased lines can offer very high speeds and low latency, making them ideal for businesses that need a fast and/or reliable internet connection.

The private line, solely for your business, has high speeds without risk of disruption. Leased lines can be used to connect geographically separated site together over a private and secure WAN such as an MPLS network. Boxx can successfully arrange a leased line for any size of business, and we’re experts in WAN migration projects.

Getting your internet speed right

Working with Boxx Communications, getting your internet connection and speed right for your business is simple.

The experienced team at Boxx will take you through the entire process. Exploring your business we assess your IT environment, current supplier and consider the best option for your requirements, budget, and timeframe.

We will tailor packages to your needs. Road mapping your customer journey from point of sales to installation, so you know the plan every step of the way. Businesses big or small, we’ve got you.

Get in touch with one of the Boxx team to find out more about keeping your business connected.

The benefits of a dedicated leased line internet connection

by

Having a reliable internet connection is crucial to running a business. An unpredictable internet connection will massively impact your businesses communication and productivity. Fast connectivity is what everyone wants. 

How do you achieve this? Leased lines offer fast, uninterrupted speeds with no risk of slowing down from public traffic.

Proudly based in Milton Keynes, Boxx have a team of internet connectivity specialists ready to help you get connected. Boxx have successfully arranged leased line connections to businesses of all sizes in the city, local areas and nationwide.

Don’t get confused into thinking a leased line is only for large enterprises. Large or small, businesses are installing leased lines and there are some key reasons why. 

Firstly, lets clear up what a leased line is.


What is a leased line?

A leased line internet connection is a dedicated connection solely for your business. The private line between the business location and the local exchange point provides an uninterrupted, secure connection. With guaranteed high speeds, even in peak hours. Have you ever got home after work and noticed your internet running slowly? During peak times, broadband and fibre can be disrupted, affecting connection speeds. 

This doesn’t happen with a leased line.

Traditional broadband works on an asymmetrical connection – meaning upload and download speeds can be inconsistent. A leased line is a symmetrical connection, meaning upload and download speeds match. Crucial for data hungry businesses.

Leased lines bandwidth transmission speeds range between 10mbps and 10gbps upstream and downstream, making it perfect for VoIP and cloud back up.


Benefits of a leased line internet connection

Leased lines have significant benefits for a business. 

  1. It’s fast – allowing the transfer of substantial amounts of data without any disruption to the speed. Whether uploading or downloading the speed remains the same.
  2. It’s reliable – the line is uncontended and for the sole use of your business.  It’s less likely to have downtime. In the event of an issue, repair times are faster. Leased lines come with a Service Level Agreement (SLA), meaning the provider is contracted to resolve any issues swiftly.
  3. It’s secure – a private line means there is never any interruptions from public traffic – which can create vulnerability. Data corruption and cyber-attacks are therefore less likely.


Who are leased lines for?

It’s not just big businesses that require a leased line. It all depends on the requirements of your business.  If you rely on transferring large quantities of data, video editing, video conferencing or experience high call volumes, a leased line is essential.


Why go with Boxx?

Boxx, CityFibre’s City Champion for Milton Keynes

CityFibre named Boxx as a City Champion for Milton Keynes. The City Champion programme was launched to empower passionate channel partners like Boxx to take the lead in Britain’s Gigabit future.  Boxx deliver game changing solutions to their customers. Customers like MK Gallery.

MK Gallery is a multifunctional, contemporary space which hosts art exhibitions and performances, as well as having an independent café, shop and cinema from Curzon.  Boxx partnered with the gallery because the internet connectivity they’d opened with was no longer fit for purpose. The gallery faced challenges with the speed and reliability of the Wi-Fi.

Boxx upgraded their connectivity and provide the stability that the gallery needs. Increasing resilience, so customers and staff have access to the internet anywhere on site. By increasing their bandwidth, the cinema can now download films and stream live events. This has reduced their costs, carbon footprint and allowed them to reach audiences across 16 countries.

Partnering with Boxx for their connection needs has given them peace of mind, knowing they have uninterrupted connectivity.

What Boxx can do for your business

If you’re not sure what the most suitable connection is for your business, don’t worry. Boxx take the guesswork out of making that decision. 

The experienced team at Boxx take you through the entire process. Looking at your business we assess your IT environment, current supplier and consider the best option for your requirements, budget, and timeframe. 

Boxx will tailor packages to your needs. Road mapping your customer journey from point of sales to installation, so you know the plan every step of the way.

Is a leased line right for my business?

It’s clear what the benefits are of a leased line, but like anything you must consider whether it’s right for you.

Installation of a leased line is more complex with the process taking months rather than weeks. However, the team at Boxx are there to guide and support you through the process and keep business communications running smoothly.

Also, we’re sure you’re fully aware, like with anything that is ‘private’ or ‘for sole use’ it usually comes at a cost.  Leased lines are more expensive. As it’s a complex process, prices can be affected by location, bandwidth, and data transmission requirements. It’s easy to understand why it will cost more when you look at the advantages.    

Reliability, speed, and security come at a cost. But, investing in the right tools for your business will enhance communication and productivity.
