Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)

Get a leased line – a high-speed internet connection exclusively for your business with guaranteed upload and download speeds.

Reliable internet connectivity isn’t just a luxury for your business – it’s a necessity.

As data consumption grows, sluggish shared broadband connections can drag you down. That’s where Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) comes in.

DIA, also called a leased line, gives your business its own high-speed, dedicated connection, so you always get the bandwidth you pay for.

Scale up your bandwidth gradually to 10Gbps as your needs evolve, and only pay for what you use. No sharing, no slowdowns – just fast, reliable internet that grows with you.

Dedicated Internet Access FAQs

Take a look at our FAQs for Dedicated Internet Access

  • Does your business need DIA?

    If you're looking for high performing internet access that's consistent and dedicated to your business, then DIA should be considered. It offers fast upload and download speeds and quality of service. Plus with speeds up to 10Gbps, you can rest assured that you have the capacity requirements to support a growing business.

  • Why is a dedicated internet connection important?

    Today more than ever, a reliable internet connection is vital to the smooth running of most businesses. A fast connection can increase the productivity of your employees, while a poor-quality connection that regularly drops out can bring a halt to work and cause frustration among your personnel. A Dedicated Internet connection will ensure that the speed and reliability of your connection won’t be affected by other local users, through the avoidance of the public internet, keeping your operations going, no matter what.

    There are various transport options for dedicated connections, including Full Fibre Ethernet, Fibre to the Premise and Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTP and FTTC), Ethernet over Fibre to the Premise (EoFTTP) and Ethernet over Fibre the Cabinet (EoFTTC) and Ethernet First Mile. However, they all have these characteristics in common:

    • Guaranteed bandwidth
    • Synchronous download and upload speeds
    • Low latency, with minimal delays in data transmission
    • Better throughput, allowing more data to be transferred faster
  • What’s the difference between DIA and a leased line?

    While “Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)” and “leased line” are often used interchangeably, strictly speaking, they have distinct meanings. DIA refers to a high-speed, private internet connection with guaranteed bandwidth, while a leased line is the dedicated, point-to-point physical circuit that can be used for DIA or other private network services.

  • How much does Dedicated Internet Access cost?

    As connectivity continues to improve, tariffs for dedicated internet access have come down significantly in recent years. Businesses can now benefit from dedicated connections for hundreds of pounds per month, rather than the four-figure sums of the past. Of course, prices will depend upon the speed of the connection you require. 

    We offer fibre circuit access across the UK, at speeds ranging from 100Mbps to 10Gbps, as well as Ethernet over FTTC/P access options that support a range of lower bandwidths, from 80/20Mbps to 1000/220Mbps. Your bandwidth is scalable, so you can step it up or down as your business needs change, regardless of data usage. Also, by using a large number of points of presence (PoPs) and multiple access providers, we keep connection costs lower.

  • What is an IP Transit service?

    Internet Transit connects Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to access larger networks. IP Transit offers a reliable, high-performance and cost-effective solution based on a multi-homed and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) enabled platforms.
