What is leasedlines:


A leased line is a permanent fiber optic or telephone connection between two points set up by a telecommunications carrier. A leased line is also sometimes referred to as a dedicated line. They can be used for telephone, data, or Internet services. Oftentimes businesses will use a leased line to connect to geographically distant offices because it guarantees bandwidth for network traffic. For example, a bank may use a leased line in order to easily transfer financial information from one office to another. A leased line can span long or short distances and customers generally pay a flat monthly rate for the service depending on the distance between the two points.
