What is Leased Line Internet also known as Diginet?
Diginet or leased line services are dedicated point-to-point connections providing the user with an always on service. Diginet is based on carrier class Symmetrical Digital Subscriber Line technology that provides guaranteed bandwidths between any predefined destinations. The customer determines the transmission speed "throughput" of the Diginet services that would best suite their application. There is no traffic congestion due to other users, as it is used in a private network topology. This also means that customers do not share bandwidth. As Diginet is a constant bit-rate service it means that there is no slowdown of data transmission speed. It is also used for last mile technology to the ISP.
