VoIP usually isn't a tin can (see VoLTE, Google Voice, 99% of VoIP providers), its just some call centers in international locations use g729 which wrecks audio quality & is not fault tolerant, thus when you get an AT&T rep in Honduras on the phone, he sounds terrible.
- Hydraulix989 10y agoThe worst is when there's some kind of "ground loop" and you hear audible harmonics of 60 Hz background hum the entire time during your call.
