Were it not for this, I would go back to the landline that I enjoyed until recently.

It regularly strikes me as absurd that quality was so much better on an old landline. It's an odd trade-off for which I would never have voted.

Even still, my main complaint is over the loss of minor things like pay-phones. I think I'll always bemoan the idea of a telephone number being associated with a person, rather than a location.




Quality on a PLain Old Telephone System is better, but quality of a zoom/teams/WhatsApp/etc voice call is better than POTS in my experience
