Traditional/Landline Home Phone
Uses physical lines within your home and outside of your home. Calls are carried through these physical lines as analog signals
VOiP/IP Home Phone
Uses the internet to connect calls and carry voice traffic as data.
Summary
VOiP services use the internet for call traffic while traditional landlines use electric signals through physical cables.
Quality
Both types of service generally sound the same when working optimally. Traditional landlines can experience issues from severe weather, damaged cables, or equipment issues (within or outside the home). VOiP service relies solely on your internet service, so if your home internet maintains connection, your home phone service will perform well.
