Leased Lines & Connectivity

Once your business runs on cloud apps, video calls, and a growing team, shared broadband starts to hold you back. Cratsol helps you understand your connectivity options, and supplies the networking hardware behind them.

A dedicated connection, reserved for your business

A leased line is a private internet connection that runs directly to your business and is used by no one else. Standard broadband is shared with other premises nearby, so speeds drop at busy times. A leased line gives you the full speed you pay for, at all times.

It is also symmetrical: upload speeds match download speeds. That is what keeps video calls clear, backups inside their window, and large files moving, in both directions, without the slowdown that shared broadband brings.

Which one your business actually needs

Broadband shares its capacity with other users nearby. It costs less and suits smaller teams and lighter use, but speeds vary with demand, and upload is usually far slower than download.

A leased line is dedicated to your business alone. It costs more, but it holds its speed through the day, uploads as fast as it downloads, and carries the kind of performance commitments that broadband does not.

Broadband is shared with other users, so speeds vary. A leased line is dedicated to your business, holds its speed, and matches upload to download.
Is a leased line worth the extra cost?

It depends on how much you rely on your connection. For businesses that work heavily in the cloud, or that cannot afford downtime, the consistency usually justifies the cost.
