Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)
Exclusive, resilient, and fast connectivity from Vodafone Business.
Secure, unlimited private internet connectivity
Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) means that you’ll never have to share your connection or compete with consumer traffic thanks to our uncontended service dedicated to business customers. Our service speeds range from 10Mbps to 10Gbps, so you can choose the service that suits your needs.
DIA is ideal if your organisation depends on a reliable connection for business-critical services – whether that’s simply hosting your own website or using your connection for online sales, VoIP (Voice over IP) services, cloud-based applications, or large file transfers. We also offer a range of standard and optional security options to keep you online.
Benefits
An uncontended service
You’ll get 100% of the bandwidth you’re paying for – dedicated symmetrical circuits ensure you don’t share bandwidth with anyone else and that your download and upload speeds are the same.
Unlimited access
There are no restrictions on monthly usage or additional charges for large files, making it ideal for hosting your own website, managing email efficiency, or supporting business-critical applications.
The speed you need
Choose from 10Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps or 10Gbps bandwidths for a connection speed that suits your business. A ‘burst’ option provides extra bandwidth to meet unexpected peaks in demand, while throttled ports let you prepare for planned growth.
Confidently connected
Business-critical applications stay connected thanks to our 24/7 support and service monitoring – spotting problems before they start. Plus, dual access connections that keep you online.
Personalise your security
Keep your connection and your data safe with optional security features: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection, internet proxy services, email security, managed firewalls, and resilient service options.
Performance reporting
Understand how your online assets are performing with a range of reports covering port utilisation, availability, and connectivity performance – accessed through a customer management portal.

Perfect connectivity to your Cloud
Vodafone Business internet services are now even better thanks to a new Microsoft Azure Peering Services accreditation for Vodafone Dedicated Internet Access and Vodafone IP Transit.
Vodafone is now one of Microsoft’s partners offering improved peering services for delivering Microsoft Office 365 applications, providing high-performing connectivity for all your public Microsoft Cloud needs.
It’s a simple opt-in for our existing customers and gives new clients even more reason to choose Vodafone. We’re looking forward to announcing even more new developments with Microsoft soon.
Choice and control
Microsoft Azure Peering Services offer you an optimised connectivity solution available per site which is supported by the reliability and performance of Microsoft and Vodafone. There are Vodafone/Microsoft peering points in 18 cities across Europe, US and Asia Pacific and this number is growing.
High bandwidth, capacity and resilience
We’ve improved the design of our core and our interface with Microsoft. This means that we’re now offering even better resilience and high-bandwidth connectivity. With our Microsoft Azure Peering Services-enabled internet product, all it takes is a single hop for traffic to reach Microsoft from our network and that means better performance through reduced network delays.
Trusted partnership
High-performing internet is critical for running Microsoft cloud-based applications. Our strategic partnership takes connectivity further. Only a small number out of the thousands of ISPs in the world have this exclusive accreditation (and even fewer in Europe).
FAQs
Dedicated internet access (DIA) means no-one else is sharing your connection – the bandwidth you get is for your use only. With a connection just for your business, you only pay for what you need, and you can adapt quickly and easily as your needs change.
The connection is just for your business, which means DIA is more reliable and will almost always be faster than shared internet connections advertised at a similar speed.
Other benefits include the range of additional services that are available. These include 24/7 support and service monitoring, performance reporting and a range of security options.
Dedicated lines offer a reliable connection for business-critical services that need to be online around the clock. Whether that’s hosting your own website or using your connection for online sales, VoIP (Voice over IP) services, cloud-based applications or large file transfers.
The key difference between a standard broadband connection and DIA is the number of customers who use the same connection. DIA is 100% dedicated to you, providing a one-to-one service, while standard broadband access is unmanaged and shared with other customers.
