What's the difference between Lease line & Broad band ?

Broadband through your telephone cable, a leased line is a dedecated connection to the internet and is often much more expensive and unecessary for a home user.

lease line connections are provide fixed bandwidth while broad band connections provide variable bandwidths

lease line connections are mostly used at corporate office's in colleges, banks etc. which provides fixed bandwidth while broad band connections provide variable bandwidths.

leased lines are dedicated connection with the exchange but

broadband is not a dedicated connection with the exchange

They both offer an Internet connection. However, a leased line is a direct internet connection dedicated to a customer (or subscriber) by the Internet service provider (ISP). It usually offers guaranteed speeds and symetrical (same) upload/download streams.A broadband connection usually referes to a shared internet connection where a subscriber is given access to the internet along with other users subscribed to the ISP network. Most broadband connection offer asymetrical upload/download streams of which a subscriber can gain speeds depending on the number of current users sharing the same line.

Both broadband and a leased line provide Internet access at a fixed subscription cost. The differences are:

• A leased line is a dedicated connection between your premises and the local exchange. It is fixed bandwidth and offers identical upload and download speeds and is not subject to contention with other users.
• Broadband is not a dedicated connection between your premises and the local exchange. It is variable bandwidth, asymmetric, meaning faster for downloads than for uploads, and subject to contention with other users
