What should you look for in a leased line quote?
Now, you have an easy way to find quotes for your leased line. But what should you be looking for when you compare leased line costs, and how do you decide which is right for you?
Here we’ll take you through some of the deciding factors and how they influence which leased line quote is best.
Leased Line Supplier
Different leased line suppliers operate across the country You’ll find you have more choice in some areas than others. For most of the areas we’ve compared recently the top quotes came from three main suppliers – CityFibre, TalkTalk Business and BT Wholesale.
For many businesses we speak to, price is a major factor in which supplier they choose. This isn’t always the case though, as you may have a particular affinity for one provider over another. When there’s a small difference in price it’s helpful to look at other ways suppliers differ. This can include their service level agreement (SLA), how they fare in online reviews and recommendations from other businesses.
Leased Line Speed
Before you look for quotes it’s a good idea to know how much bandwidth you’re likely to need. You can find leased lines available in speeds from 10Mb to 10Gb, with plenty of options in between.
Right now, 100Mb leased lines are popular with businesses. They offer you a decent balance between speed and affordability, with prices starting at £260 per month on a three-year term. To understand more about different speeds, read our recent guide to leased line speeds and costs across the UK.
Leased Line Costs
As you look for quotes for your leased line, one of the main factors you’ll be considering is the cost. Leased lines are available on yearly terms, but many can be paid for on a monthly rental basis.
Leased line pricing does vary slightly across the country, but largely it’s similar. Here’s a quick look at some costs for a postcode in Manchester.
You’ll see that it’s actually more affordable to invest in a 100Mb leased line than a 30Mb leased line. That’s because CityFibre, the cheapest quote from 100Mb onwards, doesn’t offer a 30Mb or 50Mb leased line in that area. It’s worth running a few searches on our free leased line quote tool find the best deal.

Installation Costs
Along with your monthly rental cost, you also need to know about any installation charges. As installing a leased line involves new infrastructure, there’s usually a cost associated with this.
Providers will have a starting cost for installation of leased line connections – this can be in the region of £500–1,000. The figure can rise if the installation is tricky, so this is something to bear in mind. A surveyor will be able to advise whether excess construction charges (ECC) are likely to apply.
Many suppliers will waive installation costs for a three-year term, so compare the quotes and see if this works out more cost-effective for you.
Term
Most leased line providers offer contracts for one year, two years or three years. With three-year quotes, you’ll find installation costs are waived.
If you’re ready to commit to a leased line with some certainty, a longer contract is a good option. With no installation costs, this often makes it a more attractive prospect than a two-year term.
When you compare quotes with our search tool, we’ll ask you for your preferred contract term. This means you’ll be able to easily compare instant leased line quotes on a like-for-like basis, without the confusion of contracts with different lengths.
