Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between broadband and a leased line?
Business broadband is a shared internet service designed for everyday business use. A leased line provides dedicated bandwidth exclusively for your organisation, delivering guaranteed speeds, lower latency and enhanced reliability.
How long does a leased line installation take?
Installation times vary depending on location, existing infrastructure and whether additional construction work is required. A survey is often undertaken before installation to determine timescales.
Do leased lines provide guaranteed speeds?
Yes. Unlike broadband services, leased lines typically provide guaranteed symmetrical upload and download speeds backed by service level agreements.
Can I add 4G or 5G backup to my internet connection?
Yes. HG IP Networks can provide automatic failover solutions using 4G or 5G connectivity to help maintain business continuity during an outage.
Which internet connection is best for Microsoft Teams and hosted telephony?
The best solution depends on the number of users and usage requirements. Smaller organisations may find business broadband suitable, while larger businesses often benefit from the guaranteed performance of a leased line.
