Do you have data to back up this definite claim? HN is all about the science.
- mhb 10y agoCell calls sounded like crap 20 years ago and they still sound like crap. What other sort of evidence do you want?
- psyc 10y agoI'm going to need several statistically rigorous, peer-reviewed studies, that aren't behind paywalls. Please feed me links.
- sillysaurus3 10y agoI know you're joking, but if you haven't had the experience of using Skype on a smartphone with someone else, it's worth the hassle. It's incredible how crystal-clear the audio is. It sounds like you're next to the person.
- WalterBright 10y agoSkype has the best voice quality, followed by land lines, and cell phones are dead last. Cell phone voice quality hasn't improved since my first cell phone in the 90s.
- vidarh 10y agoI frequently lately have had to have people call me back on my cellphone because the Skype call quality has been awful. Skype seems to be much more dependent on network conditions.
- mattm 10y agoThe Line app (popular in Japan) has incredible voice quality. It's like someone standing right there whispering in my ear.
- lisper 10y agoActually HN is all about startups. Sometimes that has to do with science, sometimes not.
