Leased Lines · Isle of Wight
A leased line is a fibre connection that's yours alone, with the same speed up and down all day and a committed fix time behind it. We check which networks reach your address, compare them honestly and look after the line once it's in.
Leased line or broadband?
Independent advice
More than one network operates on the Isle of Wight, and what's available can change from one street to the next. Because we're not tied to a single provider, we check what can actually reach your address and compare the options honestly.
Then we look after the line once it's in, alongside your phones, WiFi and cabling, so there's one local team to call if anything goes wrong.
How it works
Leased lines take longer to install than broadband, so the earlier the check, the better.
We find out which networks can reach your address and roughly what it costs.
Speed, network, backup and any construction charges set out in writing.

Faults reported to us, chased by us, and fixed without you queuing on a helpline.

Leased lines come with a fault-fix commitment from the network. We can also add a 4G/5G or broadband backup so the business stays online while it's repaired.
Often, yes, though the cost and timescale vary with distance to the nearest fibre. The availability check tells you what's possible at your address.
