I don't know. Think about this. You listen to music on your $6000 stereo
and it sounds good. When you call a store and are put on "hold", that
same
music does not sound so good over the telephone. Why? Think about all
those
spices and connections on the phone wires. That must be the difference.
If
the phone company used straight runs of Monster Cable, we'd get the same
good sound.


I can't tell if you're being facetious here--telephone is carried digitally
these days with a frequency range typically of 300-3400 Hz--that's all that
gets encoded in the cells and all that is carried, and it's often carried
over fiber optics. The "splices and interconnections" have little effect
compared to that.
