Leased Line
1st Callcom Ltd is your dedicated internet partner, supporting the selection, installation, and management of leased lines for business. We provide end-to-end support, ensuring a secure solution for high user volumes and bandwidth-intensive cloud applications.
What Is Leased Line?
Openreach connects homes and businesses through exchange points located across the UK. With a broadband connection, users can access the internet on their property by receiving data from their dedicated exchange point. Exchange points are shared by everyone in a certain radius, such as a village, town, or segment of a city.
Leased Line, also known as Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), is a private, high-speed Full Fibre connection between the Internet and your premises. Unlike broadband, leased line gives users a dedicated and unlimited internet connection that isn’t shared with anyone else – so you receive all the performance you pay for.
Our Leased Line Solutions
Leased line is designed for businesses of all sizes and can be installed almost anywhere, regardless of existing fibre availability. It can offer up to nearly 1,600 Mbps download and upload speed and is incredibly reliable – rarely ever failing.
At 1st Call, we help customers set up and manage the best leased line solution for their needs, ensuring even the most demanding, real-time applications can be handled with ease. Leased line is the right choice for businesses where any loss of service would have a major operational or financial impact.

The main benefit of a leased line is that it’s a permanent fixture, eliminating future installation costs that usually come with upgrading FTTP, FTTC, or ADSL broadband lines.
They are especially useful for businesses that rely on a strong internet connection or do not currently have fibre line availability, offering benefits such as:
- Ultrafast internet
- 99.99% uptime
- Symmetrical speeds
- Unrivalled connectivity
- No geographic restrictions

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between leased line and broadband?
Broadband lines transfer data to an exchange point before reaching a street cabinet or property, which is shared with everyone in a certain radius. A leased line, on the other hand, is a private, dedicated internet connection that isn’t shared with anyone else.
Leased line is generally more reliable than broadband, as the connection is free from fluctuating upload and download speeds caused by shared online traffic.
What are the types of leased lines?
There are several types of leased lines, including MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching), DSL+, and Fibre. Of these options, Fibre leased lines offer the highest speeds, reliability, and flexibility.
How long does it take to install a leased line?
Lead times for leased line installations range from 45 to 120 working days, depending on the exact amount of work involved and permissions surrounding the installation. Please contact us for more information.
