UK Business Connectivity Pricing Index
Published statistics from AMVIA’s UK connectivity corpus: leased-line price benchmarks by region, excess construction charges, delivery lead times and contract status — every figure dated, sampled and versioned. Refreshed as new sets publish; current set 2026-08-08.

What this index is
AMVIA and Compare Fibre have traded UK business connectivity for over a decade. This index publishes the aggregate statistics from that corpus as citable, licensed data: no customer identifiers, no supplier buy prices, every cell built from at least 5 underlying records, and every figure stamped with its as-of date, sample size and method version. The full rules are on the methodology page.
What it covers
- Excess construction charges — the quoted-amount distribution behind the most feared line on a leased-line quote. We’re not aware of any other UK source publishing this.
- Regional price benchmarks — 189 published cells of leased-line pricing by region, speed band and term (quoted amounts; see the 2026 report for the regional tables).
- Delivery lead times — order-to-live day counts for delivered circuits, by era and service family.
- Contract status — the live-book share of circuits already past contract end.
Reading the numbers honestly
Figures are quoted amounts from real quotes and priced email threads unless a cell’s basis says otherwise — quoted-market and transacted views are never mixed. The ECC incidence figure is published as a floor, not a rate. Where a regional sample is too thin, the feed rolls the cell up and says so in the cell’s own note; nothing is interpolated.

About the index
From AMVIA’s own trading corpus: site-deduplicated tracker records, priced email threads and billing records accumulated over a decade of UK connectivity trading, aggregated and anonymised before publication. The methodology page documents each feed’s basis verbatim.
Yes — the headline feeds (excess construction charges, delivery lead times, contract status) are CC BY 4.0: reuse freely with the attribution "Source: Amvia UK Connectivity Data" linked here. The granular regional benchmark cells are published for reference; contact AMVIA to licence reuse.
When a new dated set publishes upstream. Published sets are immutable — a dated statistic never changes; corrections ship as a new dated set, so any figure you cite stays verifiable at its as-of date.
Every cell reports its own n. Cells with fewer than 5 underlying records are suppressed or rolled up to a wider grouping, and the cell’s note says when that has happened.
