VoIP usually isn't a tin can (see VoLTE, Google Voice, 99% of VoIP providers), its just some call centers in international locations use g729 which wrecks audio quality & is not fault tolerant, thus when you get an AT&T rep in Honduras on the phone, he sounds terrible.

The worst is when there's some kind of "ground loop" and you hear audible harmonics of 60 Hz background hum the entire time during your call.

Omg yes, any kind of background hum or distorted comfort noise is the absolute bane of telephony, having experienced it on a few messed up landlines before.
