".Voice is the most efficient way to communicate. We have had the same
voice service for 80 years. The voice quality you get when you make a
call on the iPhone today is the same voice quality Bell Laboratories
thought you should have in 1933.. " 

Regressing to 1933 quality is understandable for portability, battery
life, etc. For a phone tied to the wall not so much.

I'd be all VOIP but AT&T requires me to have a POTS line with my DSL.

At some point, they may force U-verse on you, as they did me.

I don't have AT&T as my ISP.  They just "own" my copper wires to the 
switching building.  AT&T somehow weaseled in a rule requiring me to 
give them money in order to purchase a competitor's product.

I take it the competitor didn't care to lay any copper. Huh.
