A line that is only yours

Why shared fibre lets the floor down

A shared line looks fine on the brochure and sags in practice. It is split between many buildings, so the speed you paid for thins out at peak, when the whole floor is working. When it drops, no one is accountable, and a shared public IP rules out the things a business actually needs. The lobby is Grade A. The question is whether the line is. Dedicated versus shared fibre walks through the difference.

What a dedicated line gives you

A CIR line — committed information rate, dedicated and uncontended — is sized to your floor or building and holds that speed consistently, at any tier. You get static IPs for servers, VPN and remote access, the option of a second carrier for redundancy, and a single partner who answers for it. We supply CIR links from all the major networks, so the line is chosen for your building rather than sold off a shelf.

Designed with the whole network

A line is only one part of a building that works. It belongs with the network, the firewall, the segmentation and the cameras, designed together rather than bought in pieces. See enterprise networking and building security.

Backed by xLink

As the connectivity practice of xLink, the fibre network, we supply dedicated CIR bandwidth across multiple carriers. The supply is resilient and accountable; we do not publish uptime percentages or name carriers.

How it fits the approach

Survey, design, build and care — the same disciplined path for a line as for a whole building. See how we work.
