compared to the days when you rented your rotary phone from Ma Bell.
One small comment; the phones themselves are of lower quality IMO,
I.e. I don't see the sound quality has having improved and the old
black Ma Bell phones were built like tanks that never broke.
Just engaging in a bit of nostalgia.

Correct, the 'phone was rented, so if they "broke", it was obvious
someone had used it as a missile and was charged. I'm surprised the
audio isn't higher fi. What's increased bandwidth for?
bc thinks the increase was for more signals instead of better ones
(more profit?)
p.s. can't comment on the fidelity, as I became deaf during the time of
the breakup of the monopoly.
