Let’s see some advantages of IIL in a details and spot the difference between ILL and a broadband connection:
Constant Speeds & Dedicated Bandwidth: An ILL connection provides fixed bandwidth and symmetric speeds to the businesses. It means that if you are using a 100 mpbs ILL connection, you always will be receiving a complete 100 mpbs speed connectivity. There is no scope of fluctuation and you can enjoy a dedicated and constant bandwidth all the way from your ISP’s core network. But with broadband, even if you have a 100mpbs connection, the speed will always depend on how many people are using broadband at the same time leading to much lower speeds at times. Also, it provides access to same upload and download speeds so that a businesses can smoothly and conveniently manage their work. Broadband connections offer asymmetric bandwidth i.e. – faster for downloads than for uploads which might lead to bottleneck.

Businesses can rely on ILL’s that certain faults and glitches will be fixed by the service providers as fast as possible. With a normal broadband connection, the time of fixing the issues is much longer as compared to the ILL . Where it might as well take 2-5 days to fix a broadband issue, with an ILL connection the issues has to be fixed within a few hours.
• Cost Saving: If a business plans on expanding their operations it is very important to have an ILL connection. It is the best option because it provides scalability, it takes care of the performance parameters like low latency, low jitter, and more uptime and it provides best performance and monitoring abilities along with reliable connectivity to cut down the unnecessary expenditure of the businesses. Moreover if businesses feel the need to upgrade their speed and bandwidth, they just required to upgrade their plan.

• Security & Reliability : ILL is much more secure and reliable than a broadband connection. A broadband connection is generally shared by several users which somewhat compromises the security factor, whereas in an internet leased line sharing among multiple customers is not likely. Thus, an internet leased line is more secure than that of a broadband connection.

An internet leased line assures businesses of a much better, faster and secure internet service.
