Businesses often compare internet connections only by speed and monthly price. But a 100 Mbps FTTH plan and a 100 Mbps Internet Leased Line are designed for different needs. The right choice depends on how critical connectivity is to your daily operations, how many users you have, and what level of performance and support your business requires.
What is FTTH broadband?
FTTH (Fiber to the Home or Premises) broadband delivers internet over fiber to a home, shop, or office. It is generally a practical and cost-effective option for browsing, cloud applications, video calls, online billing, CCTV access, and routine office work.
Most broadband plans are best-effort services. Actual performance can vary with the provider’s local network, peak-hour congestion, Wi-Fi setup, router capability, and technical feasibility at the exact address.
What is an Internet Leased Line?
An Internet Leased Line (ILL) is a business-grade connection intended for organizations that need more consistent performance and formal service commitments. Depending on the provider and plan, an ILL may offer symmetrical upload and download bandwidth, a static IP, defined service levels, and a structured support or escalation process.
Terms differ between providers, so the bandwidth, contention, SLA, restoration commitment, and included equipment should always be checked in the final proposal.
Key differences to compare
- Cost: FTTH is usually more economical. A leased line normally costs more because it is designed for business-critical use.
- Upload speed: Broadband upload speed may be lower than download speed. Leased-line plans commonly offer symmetrical bandwidth, subject to the selected provider’s terms.
- Performance consistency: FTTH performance can vary with local network conditions. An ILL is generally selected when more predictable bandwidth is important.
- Static IP: It may be available as an add-on with broadband, while many leased-line proposals include one or more static IPs. Confirm this before ordering.
- Service commitment: Consumer or small-office broadband may not include a formal SLA. Business leased lines can include defined support and restoration terms.
- Installation: FTTH may be quicker where fiber and ports are already available. A leased line often needs a detailed feasibility survey and network deployment.
When FTTH may be sufficient
FTTH may suit a small office, clinic, shop, coaching centre, or branch where internet use is important but short interruptions can be managed. It can also work well as a secondary backup connection.
- Limited users and devices
- Regular browsing and cloud applications
- Video calls and online billing
- Moderate upload requirements
- Budget is a major consideration
When a leased line may be the better fit
Consider an ILL when an outage or unstable performance can directly affect revenue, customer service, or critical operations.
- Many simultaneous users
- Frequent large uploads or cloud backups
- VPN, server hosting, or remote access requiring a static IP
- Business applications that need consistent latency
- Formal SLA or escalation requirements
- Branches, banks, corporate offices, or other connectivity-dependent operations
Do not ignore redundancy
No single connection can eliminate every outage risk. Businesses that cannot afford downtime should evaluate a backup connection, preferably from a different provider or network route where technically feasible. A primary leased line with a broadband backup—or two suitable broadband connections—may provide better operational resilience than relying on one link alone.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the service feasible at the exact building and floor?
- What are the download and upload speeds?
- Is the bandwidth shared, and what service terms apply?
- Is a static IP included or chargeable?
- What installation, equipment, deposit, and recurring charges apply?
- What is the expected installation process and timeline?
- What support and escalation commitments are provided?
