Kind of a bad example. If I could have a TRUE pots phone, I'd jump on it. Instead all you can get it psuedo-POTS jammed over VoIP. Real POTS in the old days

Instead all you can get it psuedo-POTS jammed over VoIP.
Real POTS in the old days was actually kinda magic. You never had the "everyone talking over everone else" thing you get with any VoIP solution because you don't have a syllable or two (more if using cell) of hidden latency.
Other than the audio rolling off everything above about 3.5khz, real POTS is as close as you can get to being in the same room.

- vidanay 4y agoI absolutely love the frequency roll-of! It's very nostalgic to me. It's one of the reasons I love the move The Vast of Night. The audio for the whole movie sounds like it was run through a perfect band pass filter.
