They offer symmetrical speeds, meaning upload and download speeds are identical and are beneficial in terms of high bandwidth capabilities, low latency and remarkable reliability.<\/p><p>They are used by data-intensive businesses that can afford high costs like financial institutions. For example, a bank might use a fibre leased line to connect its headquarters with its data centres and branch offices to ensure fast and secure transactions.<\/p><p><strong>2. Wirelses leased lines:<\/strong><\/p><p>Wireless leased lines use radio signals to provide dedicated internet connections without the need for physical cables. They offer flexible deployment, especially in areas where laying fibre is too costly or impractical. Their provided speed is not as high as the fibre lines and they can also be prone to environmental factors like rain and storms.<\/p><p>Wireless leased lines are usually used in remote or rural areas.

They are resilient to interference and damage and thus reduce outage risks considerably.<\/p><p>Moreover, service level agreements (SLAs) guarantee uptime and rapid issue resolution which provides businesses with minimal downtime. Most reliable providers promise a response time of 2 hours and a fix time of 5-6 hours. In the case of broadband users, you might have to wait for days for a major issue to get resolved. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-61747b8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"61747b8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d854259\" data-id=\"d854259\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae62e42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ae62e42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">4.
