What others are saying
We don’t normally write reviews but we have been very well looked after with sensible prices, great service (including after sales) and down to earth advice. Unlike other telecom companies they’ve not felt the need to call us for business or to promise the usual huge impossible percentage savings that others try but fail to deliver.
Traffords Limited Great service! With so many phone systems out there, it really helps to speak with someone who takes the time to offer clear advice to customers that may not be very tech savvy. Much appreciated Andy!
Charlene Reynald Top quality service! Brian was quick of the mark to respond to my enquiry, knowledgably suggested a solution to my problem, and was able to offer a competitive price. Would highly recommend!
Duane CormellRealm Recruitment We first contacted the team at Birmingham Telecom on a strong recommendation. We were advised on implementing a UC Cloud Hosted Phone System. which works like a dream. Fantastic company would highly recommend!
David HancoxHancox Gas & Plumbing We recently switched to a hosted telephone system with Birmingham Telecom. The level of support we got from them was of the highest order, which made us feel secure at all stages. We now have a modern phone system that would have cost 10 times more had it been analogue along with with superfast broadband
Assaggi Restaurant Great service and very competitive price, I was a little unsure at start to move from BT however Brian talked me through all the benefits and as a company we save 50% on our bills. Very happy and have been for 4 years now. I would definitely recommend Birmingham Telecom to anybody.

FAQ
What is a Leased Line?
A leased line is a dedicated fibre connection which runs from a customer’s premises to the Ethernet core network.
As it’s uncontended (i.e. nobody else shares the connection) it’s a highly secure and resilient option that’s great for businesses that need to maintain an ‘always on’ connection.
The technology is capable of providing symmetrical speeds (i.e. the same speeds for both upload and download) of between 10Mbps and 10Gbps so it’s suitable for SMEs and larger corporations. It’s also fully scalable – you can buy a leased line at a higher bandwidth capacity than is needed currently and restrict actual bandwidth usage to manage costs, but then expand your bandwidth usage as and when you need.
Are we able to get a Fibre Ethernet Leased Line?
Almost every business is now able to access fibre via a leased Line. The nearer you are to a town or city, the lower the cost and the more chance there will be of a viable route to get fibre into your building. The majority of the UK is now covered but there will always be a few problem areas which may require the exploration of other technologies such as 5G.
If you live in the middle of a field surrounded by nothing then you still may be able to get a Leased Line however, Leased Line providers always cover their backs with something known as “excess construction charges”. These charges are essentially passed on to the customer if they exceed a certain level.
If excess construction charges are identified and you do not want to pay these fees, at this point you are able to simply cancel the order and explore other options. We look at every order request individually so normally we are able to add excess charges on to your monthly bill over the term of your contract which gives us a lot more flexibility than the majority of providers in the UK.
How fast can Fibre Ethernet Leased Lines go?
Leased Lines are able to provide speeds ranging from 10 Mbps right the way up to 10 Gbps depending on the location and the application required by you, the customer! Leased Lines can normally provide a speed suitable for every business of every size whether you an small manufacturer or a large corporate business with multiple offices.
The most common speed in the UK at time of writing (May 2019) is 100 Mbps but as data hungry applications, software and telephone systems evolve this will likely rise to the standard becoming 1 Gbps within the next decade.
What is the difference between committed data rate (CDR) and a ethernet bearer?
A bearer is the maximum size of bandwidth on a connection, whereas the committed data rate (CDR) is how much data has been selected on that connection.
For example, a ‘10 over 100’ connection means that a 100Mbps bearer has been selected but with a committed data rate of 10Mbps. By buying a 10/100Mbps line, the business has access to the full 100Mbps of bandwidth when they need it but will only pay for the 10Mbps of bandwidth that they’re currently using.
This makes leased lines inherently flexible and able to grow with a business, rather than requiring technology changes as bandwidth needs expand.
What do you mean when you say the speed of a leased line is capped?
This doesn’t mean that we place a cap on data flow! It means that the bandwidth on the circuit is restricted to the committed data rate (CDR) that you indicated on your original order.
How long does a Leased Line take to install?
There are a number of factors that can impact the time it takes to implement a leased line so while we indicate that it will take on average 60 working days, in reality this will depend on the outcome of any site surveys we conduct and whether any works are needed that will require the input of outside agencies, such as local councils or landlords.
The good news is that as we manage the provisioning process ourselves. Your dedicated account manager along side our provisioning team will be able to keep you updated on the progress of the order makes its way through the process up until connection.
What equipment is needed?
With all our Fibre Ethernet Leased Line connections we provide a top of the range Cisco router which is delivered to you pre-configured out of the box for you or your IT team to connect to your network.
If a router that we’ve provided fails, we’ll arrange for a pre-configured replacement to be couriered to your business site on the next working day. Replacements will be made on a like-for-like basis.
Do you offer a price promise?
Yes! We work with every single top tier provider in the UK and offer a price promise guarantee when you order a Leased Line from us.
If you find a cheaper quote elsewhere, simply let us know. If it’s a “like for like” proposal, we will do our best to beat it for you!
What happens if we need to move premises part way through our contract?
Ideally you’d capture the likelihood of a premises move before placing your leased line order as this will have an impact on the recommended carrier.
If a move is required part way through a contract, a charge may be applicable depending on how long there is left on the contract and the location of the new site. It’s best to speak to your account manager to find out how the land lies for your specific case.
Can we increase or decrease our speeds during our contract?
Bandwidth can be increased to meet changing needs without limit during a contract term but can only be decreased once.
However, if bandwidth is decreased, you will still be billed for the higher bandwidth rate until the contract expires.
Can you offer temporary bandwidth increases on leased lines?
A temporary increase in bandwidth speeds may be possible for special events but changes are subject to a minimum term of 1 month.
Do you block any ports on the Cisco router?
No, any router we provide is supplied open and with no port restrictions.
What guarantees do you offer on the router?
If a router that we supply does fail, we will arrange for a replacement to be shipped to your business address for delivery the next working day. Replacements are always made on a like for like basis.
