A leased line should support current demand without becoming an unnecessary constraint. Choosing well means looking beyond a simple user count.
Measure busy periods
Review traffic during working peaks and identify upload-heavy workloads such as cloud backup, content production and data replication.
Separate port and bearer decisions
Ask how committed speed and bearer capacity are structured, and whether the service can be upgraded later. Availability varies by location and access infrastructure.
Include future demand
Allow for planned recruitment, new cloud systems, additional sites and changing working patterns. Also decide whether a secondary service is required for continuity.
