Quite late to this thread so idk if anyone will see this haha, but with regards to

> The worst calls I ever have been on are ones with tons of background noise, video and audio lag

The current situation also means internet is unfortunately borderline unusable in some areas, and sadly nothing can be done about it. I've been suffering through constant 10-50% packet loss on my connection due to capacity issues for a couple weeks since "stay at home" started, and my ISP is still unable to give an estimate of when it might be fixed (it's confirmed to be an ISP issue and not at my home, packet loss starts at the tap on the street).

I have an important Zoom call tomorrow, but at this point I'm going in expecting that the call won't work at all and I'll probably have to dial in with my cell phone. Had another, fortunately less important, call today where I disconnected 12 times in 15 minutes...
