In the UK the average internet connection for business is 8mbit (if you are lucky).
From ADSL to SDSL, but as we all know the SDSL connections are quite expensive and not very reliable (since they still use the same type of card used on ADSL connections and are located in the same exchange).
For business I have always suggest admins to order leased lines if the company can afford it.
The ideal setup would be as follows:
If low budget then –> 1x ADSL 8mbit + 1 Leased Line 2mbit (merge the connections through a router that support load balancing / fail over connections)
If greater budget then –> 10mbit Leased Line + 1x ADSL (usually dont have to order an extra ADSL line since the leased line will give one automatically for backup purposes).
Leased lines have a 100% uptime SLA and are great if you are running huge backups and VOIP services (you really dont want to run VOIP services on normal ADSL lines).
Pricing is as follows:

The Leased line in UK is affordable..you can always rely your business to T1 Leased line.

Not really, only affordable for businesses (medium to large) or rich people, but even the rich people I do work for they dont wanna spend that amount of money just for an internet line.

Any idea what charges would be into Dubai from London, I think the company I trade at uses colt at present for a 10meg burstable line from our trading floor back to the London clearer. Inside Dubai seems to be the expensive leg.

A direct line between london and dubai? probably quite expensive, indeed as far as i know there is only a routable colt line. The best solution would be two leased lines and join them by VPN, pricing depends on the speed line and barier, 10mbits in london are roughly £800/month which is quite expensive, there are some ISP’s that might do it for the same price on a 20mbit though.
