I'm on Tingb(mvno using the T-Mobile networj) and on the West coast. Both zoom and Skype are completely unusable for me.

FWIW, I've been using VOIP for over a year now. I don't make a massive number of calls, but it's perfectly usable over LTE in Western Canada.
Same experience here, using https://voip.ms with Fido.
LTE latency is more than adequate for VoIP, with RTT latency to the tower being around 25ms. Adding another 40, 60, whatever, internet latency for VoIP is still well within the realm of good call quality.
Fair enough. I must have a shitty network. I see 150-200ms pings through LTE with occasional spikes up to 500ms, and any VOIP is both poor quality and we end up talking over each other because of the latency.
