I've been on Verizon for years, keep reading how the next new improvement to the phone call technology will improve voice quality and connection, yet I'm still dealing with the same reception issues and crappy voice quality I've had for almost the last 10 years over multiple carriers.
My phone says I'm on HD Voice now, the Verizon store reps say I am too, my account does, and voice quality doesn't sound "crystal clear", it sounds just as muffled and mushy and echo-ey and have as many weird audio anomalies (random static and clicks and clacks etc) as it ever did, even landlines in the 80's and 90's sounded better. I still get dropped calls fairly often, even if the problem is the other person no matter which carrier they're on including Verizon; these issues have remained consistent throughout the last decade.
I'm paying top-dollar for a Verizon connection, and I know it only gets worse with other carriers. I thought this was 2017, where carriers were supposed to have figured out how to do wireless calling with good voice quality, not 2010 or 2005 where wireless was hokey.
What is going on? Is there so much wireless going on that carriers just can't perform like they should, or are they cheapening out so much that they get sub-par performance in a shiny package, or is my entire state and the areas of other states I travel just impossible to pass a good signal through. Really discouraged; we have private companies landing rockets and sending space probes into Earth orbit, and we can't get a good consistent connection and quality audio on our cell phones.
