Leased lines in Manchester start from £150 per month, giving your business a dedicated, symmetrical fibre connection that isn’t shared with anyone else. Sequential Networks provides fully managed 100Mbps, 1Gb and 10Gb leased lines across Greater Manchester, backed by a 99.95% uptime SLA, a 4-hour target fix time and our own private-build data centre. Typical fibre installation takes 30 to 45 working days, with a rapid wireless leased line option live in around 10 days when you need connectivity fast.
What is a leased line?
A leased line is a private, dedicated internet circuit that connects your Manchester premises straight to the network, yours and yours alone. Unlike standard business broadband, which shares bandwidth with up to 50 other users (a contention ratio), a leased line is uncontended: you get the full speed you pay for, at all times, with symmetrical upload and download.
That matters most for the things Manchester businesses depend on every day: cloud applications, VoIP and video calls, large file transfers, hosted servers and remote-working teams. If your connection going down stops your business working, a leased line is the connection you want.
Manchester leased line speeds & pricing
| Speed | Best for | From |
|---|---|---|
| 100Mbps | Small offices, VoIP, cloud apps | £150/month |
| 1Gb | Growing teams, file-heavy work, multi-site | £279/month* |
| 10Gb | Data-intensive operations, hosting, DR | Bespoke quote |
*On-net 1Gb offer price. Final pricing depends on your postcode, bandwidth and contract length, so the only accurate figure is a quote for your exact address.
All lines include a managed router, static IP addresses and 24/7 monitoring as standard. Higher capacities (up to 10Gb and beyond) are delivered straight into your racks where you need them.
Why choose Sequential Networks for your Manchester leased line
Most Manchester leased line providers are resellers. We are not. We design, deliver and manage connectivity on our own network, backed by infrastructure we built and run ourselves:
- Our own private-build data centre in Warrington, plus Manchester colocation two miles from Piccadilly and a presence at MediaCityUK. Your connectivity terminates on infrastructure we control, not a third party’s.
- ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified (UKAS): information security and quality management, independently audited.
- A single supplier for the whole stack: leased lines, cloud, colocation, hosted VoIP, MPLS, SD-WAN and IT support, all from one team.
- UK-based support and engineers, so you talk to people who know your network.
- G-Cloud government-approved supplier and multi-award-winning for service and outsourcing.
- Genuinely local, with a real Manchester number (0161 413 4486) and engineers who cover the region.
Leased line vs business broadband
| Business broadband | Leased line | |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth | Shared (contended) | Dedicated (uncontended) |
| Speeds | Asymmetric, up to | Symmetrical, guaranteed |
| Uptime | Best-effort | 99.95% SLA |
| Fix time | No guarantee | 4-hour target |
| Best for | Light use | Business-critical operations |
Comparing the two on price alone misses the point. A leased line is built so your business keeps working when connectivity is the thing you cannot afford to lose.
