BTnet is simply a brand name for BT’s Leased line service, this service is the same as every other Leased Line provider, BT has just added their own twist on it. As many of you know, a Leased line is a fibre optic cable that run directly from the exchange point to your premises, it provides symmetrical speeds, its uncontended, there’s no contention ratio, and it all comes guaranteed with a Service Level Agreement.
Many businesses now rely on a stable connection to run properly. This particular internet service is perfect for a range of IT services, including a VoIP phone line or guest wi fi.
BTnet leased lines often become a topic of conversation for many of our customers. They often seem to think that BTnet leased lines are unlike any others (great marketing team at BT business) when in fact there is often not much difference, aside from the name. We decided to write a blog to help solve all the myths around BTnet leased lines.
So firstly, what are the myths we hear about BTnet leased lines?
Like everything in life, BTnet Leased Lines come with its own set of advantages and disadvantages, here are a few.

Disadvantages:
Deciding what Leased Line provider to go with can sometimes be tricky, some people go for the biggest brands, others go for the best savings, this is all part and parcel of an IT Managers job. BT Business is one of the most popular internet providers in the UK, you see them everywhere, on billboards, on TV, even hearing their name when you’re listening to the radio on your way to work.
Why you may ask, it’s simply because they were one of the first providers and have had many loyal customers over the years. But are they the best? This is up for debate, yes, they are the biggest brand out there and have provided quality products and customer service over the years, but is anyone else better?
There’re several other ISP’s that resell BT’s infrastructure at the fraction of the price, but still maintain that quality service you’d get from going with BT. So, if you’re looking for a big brand that have been around for a while and have a good reputation, go for a BTnet Leased line, but if you’re looking for a better deal with a lesser known provider who are just as reputable, look elsewhere.
In closing we understand BT have a major presence in the market but BTnet is the same as any other fibre leased line and in a lot of areas can be more expensive. So, if you’re looking to get a leased line and would like the best price, then just fill out one of our webforms, wait for a call from a sales person, and get your quotes within 1-2 working days.
