What is another term for a dedicated line?

A dedicated line is often referred to as a leased line. This term specifically describes a type of telecommunication line that is dedicated to a single customer, meaning that the connection is not shared with other users or organizations. Leased lines provide consistent bandwidth, reliable service quality, and secure data transmission, making them ideal for businesses that require a constant and stable connection, such as for video conferencing, data exchange, or other mission-critical applications.

In contrast to the other terms, a shared line indicates a connection that multiple users share, which may lead to variable performance based on the number of active users. A commuted line is generally associated with those that are not directly leased and can be seen as a standard telephone line that can be used intermittently, while a flexible line suggests variability in its usage, which does not apply to the dedicated, fixed nature of a leased line.
