BTNet Leased Line

[philpie-work]

Hi

 

Is anybody using BTNet for the school Internet connection? How has the experience been?

 

Many thanks

We've had a BT leased line for 4 or 5 years now, 100mbit. Its been perfect to be honest. Their router is rock solid too.

We've got a good number of customers using BT leased lines. The initial setup can be a bit of a battle at times (too many managers and too much red tape - once you actually get to talk to someone technical things seem to go pretty smoothly but it can be a fight to get to talk to someone technical). Once the line is up and running it seems very fast and reliable though. So I guess my advice is - plan well in advance for the pain and delays of installation but once it's in you should be fine

Been with them for over 5 years, rock solid, no downtime 200mb up and down absolutely brilliant!

6 Months and a farcical comedy of errors to get the line installed, but 100% uptime since.

We've had a leased 100/100 line from BT since 2011; couldn't fault it.

Although we had to provide our own firewall and filter solutions.
