- eddieroger 2y agoLatency is a different thing, though. Yes, latency is worse in some cases than copper-connected phones were, but that's a highly subjective statement relative to the connections. But quality alone has never been higher than it was, and it was much lower on landline phones.
- RhysU 2y agoThe audio is awful. The old landlines advertised hearing a pin drop. And no one laughed at that concept. Imagine trying to hear something comparable with today's mobile phones.
