Leased Line Lament

"Broadband is attractive to smaller businesses because on paper it looks like a similar service at a reduced cost, so companies with 250k bi-directional leased line are increasingly tempted to make a change to an ADSL line. What they don't realise is that 1mg ADSL is not the same as a 1mg leased line, as broadband shares the bandwidth among the users. This is only apparent when the companies starts sending large files and the whole network slows down."
