The low latency is pretty nice, but ya the actual audio quality is nothing to brag about.
- gkop 5y agoNothing to brag about, sure, but still remarkably good in comparison with calls today. Latency aside, the quality of copper POTS was still capable of being much better than, for example, my new iPhone making cellular calls on AT&T’s network. (I prefer FaceTime Audio)
- thaumasiotes 5y agoThis just isn't true. Narrowband audio quality is a dumpster fire compared to calls today. Narrowband drops all frequencies outside the range 300 - 3400 Hz. Not only is the top end much, much too low to accurately represent a human voice... the bottom end is too high!
