Business internet provider Vaioni has launched a new 1Gbps (Gigabits per second) capable Leased Line service across London for £1,500 +vat a month. The ISP claims that its price will save big firms "up to 50% on the rental of an equivalent 1Gb service" from other major carriers.


Vaioni claims that its Carrier Ethernet service doesn't cut any corners and still contains all "of the features that you inherit from a Carrier Network".

Vaioni Carrier Ethernet Feature Highlights
* Full Carrier Ethernet Delivery
* Advanced Layer2 monitoring (OAM)
* MEF 14 compliant QoS
* Cloud service optimised
* Strongest industry SLA
* Full national coverage
* Guaranteed low latency links
* 99.96% uptime SLA
* Instant pricing
* Full online ordering process

A large number of rival ISPs also offer similar services, although the vast majority do not publish a set pricing structure in public. As a result we can't easily compare the 50% savings claim (we assume that BT is the main point of comparison). Vaioni also launched a similar service back in 2009 that was £250 cheaper (here).
