Nonsense. AMPS was FM and had the same "quality" as your car radio's FM
band, unless your signal level was real low, just like your car radio.
Digital has always sucked! CDMA is sampled at either 8 Kbps or 11 Kbps
making music on hold sound like SHIT!

If AMPS had a decent signal to noise ratio, you couldn't tell it from
direct landline audio. Digital phones sound like crap because of the
ultra-low, save-my-bandwidth encoding/decoding resolution being so awful.

You can't hardly find an internet stream sampled at 8 or 11 Kbps, even just
voice!

Wanna see what I'm talking about? Call someone on a Sellphone and listen
to them. Then, call them on Skype THROUGH the sellphone data link. Skype
sounds like a Red Label RCA symphonic recording at 15 ips on 1" tape
compared to the sellphone's awful codec.
