T1 technology provides a better option for communication than the technology available over what is these days called POTS (Plain Old Telephone System). The crucial difference between the two is while T1 depends on digitization of voice and data, POTS depends on analog conversion and re-conversion of the same.
Digitization of traffic and use of optic fiber cables makes this new system approximately sixty times faster than the conventional phone system.
