About Us
Leased Lines
In today's world, it is clear that if businesses of any size want to take full competitive advantage of opportunities offered by the Internet and the growth in electronic data communications, they need an Internet connection that they can rely upon, and a level of service that will support mission critical applications.
The Leased Line Access service provided by Smartways is designed to offer your business the flexibility to develop its Internet requirements at its own pace, and to plan for future growth by providing private, permanent, on-demand links to the Internet, with guaranteed access to bandwidth, free from the requirements of other users.
Our leased line connections provide a fully managed, dedicated link to the Internet using private circuit technology. The private circuit is installed between two points to provide an 'always on' service and connects your site to one of our hundreds of UK Points of Presence (PoP).

Bandwidths are available from 2Mb to 155Mbps
Leased Line Access is always provisioned with a managed Cisco router. This not only terminates our service at a clean hand-over point, but also allows us to monitor your connection 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
