For businesses needing more resilience than broadband alone but not justifying leased line cost, Telexico recommends full fibre broadband with Assure X 4G failover. Total cost £60–90/month. This delivers 1Gbps primary speeds with automatic 4G backup in 60 seconds — effectively eliminating downtime risk at a fraction of leased line cost.
Business broadband is shared infrastructure — speeds vary with area usage. A leased line is dedicated to your premises — guaranteed symmetric speeds 24/7 with a 4-hour fix SLA.
Leased lines typically cost 5–10× more. Full fibre broadband from £29.99/month; leased lines from £199/month. The premium buys guaranteed performance, 99.95% uptime SLA and a 4-hour engineer fix.
Yes — Telexico manages the upgrade with no service gap. Broadband stays active until the leased line is installed and tested, then we cut over with minimal downtime.
For many businesses yes. A 1Gbps full fibre with 4G failover costs £60–90/month and delivers excellent performance. A leased line remains better for guaranteed symmetric speeds, very high bandwidth or a contractual 4-hour fix SLA.
