Dedicated Internet Access FAQs
-
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?
A fast internet connection can increase the productivity of your business, while a poor connection that regularly drops out can bring a halt to work and cause frustration among your employees. Dedicated Internet Access ensures that the speed and reliability of your connection won’t be affected by other local users, keeping your operations going, no matter what.
-
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.
