Two ways to get guaranteed dedicated connectivity — but they're very different. Complete comparison of costs, installation, performance and the right use case for each.
| Factor | 🏗️ Private Fibre | 🔗 Leased Line |
|---|---|---|
| Infrastructure | ✓ Your own cable | Openreach shared physical |
| Monthly cost | ✓ Lower long-term | Higher, consistent |
| Installation cost | Civil works required | ✓ No civil works |
| Installation time | 4–12 weeks | ✓ 30–65 working days |
| Max speed | ✓ Up to 100Gbps+ | Up to 10Gbps |
| Openreach dependency | ✓ None — fully independent | Openreach infrastructure |
| Uptime SLA | ✓ 99.99%+ | 99.95% |
| Best for | Large buildings, campuses | ✓ Any single premises |
Private fibre makes sense when connecting a large building, business park, industrial estate or multi-site campus. Running your own cable provides long-term performance, full independence from Openreach and significant cost benefits over a multi-year term.
A leased line is right when you need dedicated guaranteed connectivity quickly at a single business premises — no civil works, faster installation, predictable costs from day one.
A leased line uses Openreach infrastructure — your connection is dedicated but shares physical cables. Private fibre is Telexico's own cable physically installed just for your premises — completely independent of any shared infrastructure.
Private fibre has higher installation costs (civil works) but often lower ongoing monthly costs over a multi-year term. Leased lines install faster with no civil works. The right choice depends on your location, contract length and requirements.
Private fibre suits large buildings, business parks, industrial estates and multi-site campuses. Leased lines suit single premises needing guaranteed connectivity more quickly.
Private fibre involves civil works and takes 4–12 weeks depending on distance, ground conditions and wayleave. Leased lines install in 30–65 working days via Openreach.
