BTnet Leased Lines: Your Human-First Path to Unrivalled Connectivity
Your business deserves more than shared connections and unpredictable costs. BT's flagship leased line service provides dedicated bandwidth and enterprise-grade reliability, but BT's pricing complexity and call-centre support model can leave you overpaying and underserviced. AMVIA's human-first approach delivers superior BTnet connectivity at competitive prices with 24/7 direct expert access that BT's standard channels simply cannot match.
1. Pain Point: When BTnet Pricing Becomes a Budget Challenge
BT's leased-line offerings face mounting cost pressures:
Price Inflation Trajectory: Following BT's 6.4% price increases in March 2025 across business services, organisations face mounting cost pressures on existing contracts whilst new BTnet pricing reflects ongoing annual increases that compound over contract terms.
Complex Pricing Structure: BTnet pricing varies dramatically by location, with costs ranging from £291 to over £450 monthly for 100Mbps services. Urban locations typically secure better rates, whilst rural areas face premium pricing that can double monthly costs without warning.
Limited Direct Support: BT's enterprise support operates through call centres and ticketing systems that provide generic responses rather than personalised problem-solving. When BTnet performance issues arise, you're often left navigating complex support hierarchies without direct expert access.
These challenges combine to create total cost of ownership that frequently exceeds initial projections by 40-60% once support requirements and hidden fees are properly calculated.
2. Business Outcomes: BTnet Performance with AMVIA Value
Switching to AMVIA's BTnet solutions delivers:
Transparent Pricing: Fixed monthly costs that eliminate surprise increases and hidden fees common with direct BT contracts. Our multi-supplier approach typically reduces BTnet total cost by 20-35% whilst providing superior service levels.
Guaranteed Performance: Dedicated bandwidth from 100Mbps to 10Gbps with 99.99% uptime SLAs that ensure your applications perform consistently without the performance degradation that affects shared connections.
Direct Expert Access: 24/7 connectivity specialists available at 0333 733 8050 with no voicemail - speak immediately with experts who understand both BT's technical architecture and your specific business requirements.
Predictable Scaling: Bandwidth upgrades and service modifications without lengthy BT negotiations or surprise contract amendments that can lock you into unfavourable terms.
