Do I need a phone line for high speed business internet?

No. Unlike older copper-based broadband (FTTC), Elevate's high speed dedicated internet is delivered via full fibre or dedicated wireless links, meaning no traditional phone line rental is required.

What speed does my business need?

Small teams usually start with 1Gbps. Large data-heavy organisations often require 10Gbps. We can assess your specific usage to recommend the right tier.

Q: What is high speed business internet?

True high speed business internet refers to Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), not standard broadband. It offers symmetrical upload and download speeds (from 1Gbps up to 10Gbps), distinct from the contended, asymmetric connections found in typical business broadband packages.

Q: How is business broadband different from DIA?

Business broadband is usually 'contended,' meaning you share bandwidth with neighbors, leading to variable speeds. DIA (Dedicated Internet Access) provides a private, dedicated connection with guaranteed bandwidth, symmetrical speeds, and SLAs for uptime.

Q: Do small businesses need high speed business internet?

Yes. As small businesses move to cloud-based applications, VoIP, and video conferencing, standard broadband often bottlenecks performance. An entry-level dedicated high speed connection ensures reliability and productivity that standard broadband cannot match.

Q: Is high speed business internet available in my area?

Elevate provides high speed internet across the UK, with specific 'Hypercities' including London, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Liverpool, and Cardiff. We utilize both fibre and dedicated rooftop wireless technology to reach businesses even in difficult-to-connect areas.

Q: How quickly can Elevate install high speed business internet?

We can install high speed Wireless DIA (up to 1Gbps) in as little as 10 days. This allows you to get connected rapidly while waiting for long-term fibre infrastructure, or as a permanent primary solution.

High Speed Business Internet for Modern, Cloud-First Organisations

High-speed business internet isn’t just about getting online from your laptop. A dedicated, symmetrical connection is essential to ensure business users get the right performance across the tools, apps and systems they rely on.

The only connection type capable of delivering this is a leased line, or Dedicated Internet Access (DIA).

Unlike standard business broadband, which is shared and contended, a dedicated service provides consistent speeds, low latency and uninterrupted connectivity, even at peak times.

Even better, business internet from Elevate comes with an optional 100% uptime guarantee through our unique full fibre and wireless leased line infrastructure.

It's the only solution that's truly suited to modern businesses.

Business Broadband vs Dedicated Internet Access

Business broadband, including full fibre broadband, is typically contended and asymmetric, meaning performance can fluctuate and uploads are slower than downloads.

In contrast, Dedicated Leased Lines, also known as Dedicated Internet Access or DIA represent a true form of high-speed business internet. It’s dedicated, symmetrical and always available; with speeds from 1–10 Gb and guaranteed performance.

Get the speeds you need

We’ll always recommend the right speed your business needs today, with the flexibility to scale as you grow. Typical speed tiers can be found in the table below.

Up to 1Gbps: Small business, light cloud use
‍1–5Gb: Scaling organisations, hybrid teams

10Gb: Enterprise, data-heavy, SaaS providers
100Gb: Carrier and large enterprise backbone

How Elevate Delivers High Speed Business Internet

From full fibre in the ground to wireless radio in the sky, we offer a complete portfolio of internet access options to support data-intensive, cloud-based and rapidly expanding businesses now and into the future.

Reliable: Dedicated fibre DIA (1–10Gb)

Dedicated, full fibre leased lines are our bread and butter. Built on our own ethernet network, they offer symmetrical speeds, 99.99% uptime, a four hour break fix, and can be installed in as little as 20 days.

Fast: Wireless DIA (1Gb)

When you need internet access quickly, our wireless DIA gets you connected within 10 days. Rapid install that serves as your primary line or bridges the wait for fibre.

Flexible: 100Gbps core network and private network options

Behind every leased line we deliver is a resilient 100Gbps core network designed to scale. That means we can provision precise bandwidth to match your requirements today, and increase it as your demands grow, without redesigning your infrastructure.

Constant: 100% uptime with fibre + wireless

By pairing a full fibre DIA connection with a wireless backup, we can offer our unique AlwaysOn. 100% uptime for businesses that can’t afford to be offline, ever.

The speed you need: SMEs vs large organisations

High speed internet for small business

Smaller businesses may not have the complex infrastructure or sheer headcount as their corporate counterparts, but they still need reliability, speed and security.

Entry-level dedicated internet access (DIA) is a good choice, and one that puts small businesses at an advantage when compared to full fibre business broadband.

This baseline leased line tier offers:

A dedicated connection: the bandwidth is exclusively for your business.
Symmetrical speeds: upload and download speeds are equal.
Guaranteed performance: backed by Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
A cost-effective entry point: ideal for businesses that need business-grade reliability.

High speed internet for enterprises

For larger organisations and enterprises, business high speed internet looks different again. 1–10 Gb DIA is preferred to keep up with their heavy connectivity demands.

It provides all the same features as a baseline DIA option; symmetrical, uncontended bandwidth, robust SLAs and guaranteed performance. But more generous bandwidth ranging from 1 Gbps up to 10 Gbps, ensures consistently high performance.

Key uses include:

Multi-site connectivity: linking multiple offices or branches with reliable, high-speed access.
Cloud-native workloads: supporting real-time cloud applications, virtual desktops, large-scale data transfers, and SaaS platforms without slowdowns.
Business-critical applications: video conferencing, VoIP and online tools run smoothly due to low latency and guaranteed uptime.

When business broadband isn’t enough…

No matter the type of broadband you’re working with, one simple truth remains: broadband’s not good enough for business.

Variable speeds, bandwidth contention, asymmetry making your calls buffer and your collaboration lag… the technology itself isn’t built for business. And neither are the contract terms.

DIA - or leased lines - are built for businesses and provide a more consultative kind of connection. With service, speeds and commercials tailored to you.

We're committed to working flexibly to provide a leased line solution that suits your business, and your budget.
