I was mainly comparing landlines to cell phones and VOIP but even the traditional landlines may be a bit worse as they've gone from a switched to packetized infrastructure.

It's kinda like comparing a home kitchen to one in an airplane and finding the airplane version woeful and without any improvement over what the microwave brought us in the 50's, all while neglecting to mention that one version is able to fly...
