businesses incur other types of costs as well. They vary with the choice of your provider. Therefore, it is important to specifically discuss any \u2018hidden fees\u2019 (something that is not explicitly mentioned in the service contract) with your provider to clear out any confusion. Some typical additional prices to expect with every type of leased line are explained below:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Cost to upgrade connection speed:<\/strong> A leased line connection provides room to scale your connection as your business grows. This means, that if your connection previously provided 50 Mb speed, you could upgrade it to 100 Mb without needing any physical changes in the infrastructure. Instead, you\u2019ll be asked to pay an upgrade fee.<\/li><li><strong>Cost to pay for equipment:<\/strong> Depending on your provider, you will incur a cost to cover the devices needed to set up the connection. These include routers, modems and other necessary hardware.<\/li><li><strong>Cancellation fees:<\/strong> As we already know, most leased line providers work on a contract basis. You can expect to pay cancellation fees as a penalty for ending the contract before its agreed termination period.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97dec46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"97dec46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_type_of_leased_line_connection_should_you_get_for_your_business\"><\/span>What type of leased line connection should you get for your business?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ecfb59 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ecfb59\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To choose the right leased line connection for your business, you must consider factors such as your budget, internet usage needs, and the extent of infrastructure development in your area.
