My LTE connection is faster than my cable connection, yet calls still sound like crap. Why is that?
Would using VOIP on my phone be any better?

I've never noticed that my audio sounds bad...it sounds quite good actually. If you told me 12 years ago that cellphones today would sound like someone was next to you I'd never believe it. It really has come that far.
There are other factors like signal strength, interference, what device you are using. Not every phone has the same clarity in the speaker and microphone.

I think it's pretty much the same, but some things that affect the quality:
-More background noise/wind outside.
-Better speakers/microphones in land line phones
-low signal strength

But wasn't there talk of HD Voice or whatever? This isn't even about VoLTE.
I once thought cellular calls were fine but the more I need to work with our other sites, the more conference calls I make, and I will take any opportunity I can to be on a land line. It makes following the call a lot easier as its FAR easier to hear.
Edit: Yeah the US carriers have just been behind. I remember reading about this for ages. Seems like the international carriers have deployed this already because I remember my voice calls being crystal clear in Asia. YEAH 'MURICA!
Because they're so busy subsidizing iPhones and Galaxy S phones? Haha. Come on.Whoa! I didn't realise you guys didn't have this yet. Any particular reason why your providers are holding back?

Simple answer is no. Response time on LTE no matter how fast is still pretty high. It's not the bandwidth on VOIP that is the bottleneck but the response time. In fact VOIP doesn't require much bandwidth comparatively.
