Shared vs dedicated internet connections

Shared broadband and dedicated leased lines look similar on a speed test - but they behave very differently when your business actually depends on the connection.

Shared broadband (FTTC / FTTP)

Contention with other premises on the same infrastructure
Asymmetric or symmetric speeds depending on product
Best-effort SLAs, typically 24-48h fix targets
Great value for smaller sites and secondary backup

Dedicated ethernet (leased line)

100% of the bandwidth reserved for you, all the time
Symmetric speeds guaranteed by SLA
4-6 hour fix targets with financial credits
Right choice when downtime has a real cost
