Internet Leased Line VS Broadband Connection

It needs no rocket science knowledge to understand that seamless internet connectivity is the most important criteria for business success. Having a high-performance internet connection helps set up highly productive and enhanced collaboration, efficient operation, and increased business productivity. While searching for fast and hustle-free internet solutions, businesses usually come across the two most common networking solutions. They being  ILL – Internet Leased Line and Broadband Connection. In a multidimensional office where business owners have to deal with converged applications, there is a need for an ILL connection over the traditional broadband connection. With ILL one gets a one-stop solution for most common problems like downtime, pooling of resources, sharing bandwidth, and low speed.

Both internet leased lines and broadband fulfill the internet needs and expectations of the businesses at a fixed subscription cost. The most common difference between both is that a leased line is a dedicated line connection between business Offices to the local exchange, on the other hand, a broadband connection is a shared and not a dedicated connection.

Let’s see  some advantages of IIL in details and  spot the difference between ILL and a broadband connection:

Constant Speeds & Dedicated Bandwidth: An ILL connection provides fixed bandwidth and symmetric speeds to businesses. It means that if you are using a 100 Mbps ILL connection, you always will be receiving a complete 100 Mbps speed connectivity. There is no scope of fluctuation and you can enjoy a dedicated and constant bandwidth all the way from your ISP’s core network. But with broadband, even if you have a 100mpbs connection, the speed will always depend on how many people are using broadband at the same time leading to much lower speeds at times. Also, it provides access to the same upload and download speeds so that a business can smoothly and conveniently manage their work. Broadband connections offer asymmetric bandwidth i.e. – faster for downloads than for uploads which might lead to a bottleneck.

• Server Level Agreement: An ILL connection generally comes with industry-backed SLAs (Commitment from Server Level) for the business owners to be assured of reliability and certainty at service levels. Businesses can rely on ILL’s that certain faults and glitches will be fixed by the service providers as fast as possible. With a normal broadband connection, the time of fixing the issues is much longer as compared to the ILL. Where it might as well take 2-5 days to fix a broadband issue, with an ILL connection the issues have to be fixed within a few hours.
• Cost Saving: If a business plans on expanding its operations it is very important to have an ILL connection. It is the best option because it provides scalability. It takes care of the performance parameters like low latency, low jitter, and more uptime. It provides the best performance and monitoring abilities along with reliable connectivity to cut down the unnecessary expenditure of the businesses. Moreover, if businesses feel the need to upgrade their speed and bandwidth, they are just required to upgrade their plan.
• Security & Reliability: ILL is much more secure and reliable than a broadband connection. A broadband connection is generally shared by several users which somewhat compromises the security factor, whereas in an internet leased line sharing among multiple customers is not likely. Thus, an internet leased line is more secure than that of a broadband connection.

An internet leased line assures businesses of much better, faster, and secure internet service. But price while availing of an ILL service can be one of your concerns, but when you consider the advantages i.e. seamless connection, faster speed and contention, and SLAs and security you will understand what you are paying for is much more cost-effective.
