I know what is PRI, but i have read that E1/T1 can be used for both voice and data, but then people tell me that leased line is used for internet/data or line between branch offices and T1/E1 PRI is used for voice, is there is difference between the two? Thanks in advance

    Yes/No. A T1 can be used as a leased line to another location (a point to point), which is relatively common in places that don't have access to copper over ethernet. A PRI can be delivered over a T1 from the telco company, a PRI can also be sent over COE depending on how the provider delivers the dial tone.

    T1 is really just layer 1, you can send voice or data over it.

    One of the providers in my area can provide voice, data, and internet all over the same t1.
