Most "business broadband" in Leeds delivers 50-100Mbps — shared between tenants. Genuine gigabit (1,000Mbps) dedicated fibre is different. Here is where to find it.
What Gigabit Actually Means
- Speed: 1,000Mbps download and upload — 10-20x faster than standard business broadband
- Dedicated: Not shared with other buildings or tenants. Your speed is guaranteed.
- Symmetric: Upload speed equals download speed. Critical for video calls and cloud backups.
Who Has It in Leeds
- City centre (LS1): Available from BT, Virgin, and CityFibre. Costs £200-£500/month for a dedicated line.
- Kirkstall Road (LS4): a Leeds provider — gigabit fibre included in every serviced office and coworking plan. No extra cost.
- Out of town: Availability varies. Many business parks still run on shared broadband.
Why It Matters
If your team uses cloud software (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Figma, etc.), slow internet costs you hours per week. Video calls drop. Files take minutes to upload. Backups fail overnight.
At a quality Leeds provider, gigabit internet is included in every plan — from coworking (£148/month) to serviced offices (from £595/month). Get in touch.
