The main difference lies in how the bandwidth is delivered and shared.
While both are fiber connections from Mahek Broadband, a shared broadband plan is designed for homes or small offices, whereas a leased line is built for enterprises that require guaranteed, uninterrupted bandwidth.
⚙️ 1. Key Comparison Table
| Feature | Shared Broadband | Dedicated Leased Line |
|---|---|---|
| Bandwidth Type | Shared among multiple users in an area | 100% dedicated to one customer |
| Speed Consistency | May fluctuate slightly during peak hours | Always stable, 24×7 guaranteed speed |
| Uptime | 97–99% average uptime | SLA-backed 99.5%+ uptime |
| IP Type | Dynamic IP (changes periodically) | Static IP (permanent) |
