You're right. The quality of a call might be sub-par (we've never had that
happen). YMMV.

Got a couple of friends with VOIP and the quality of the calls are
"sub-par" about 10% of the time. And by sub-par, I mean, I can't
understand one word they're saying. IOW, you can keep all your so-called
advantages, because that one disadvantage alone is plenty of reason not
to abandon my landline.

As far as it never happening to you, it never happens to my friends,
either. Incoming sound for them is always OK.
