I believe copper or coax simply doesnt transmit as fast as fiber." Interesting point. Do you mean 'fast?' Or, do you mean higher througput [per unit time] carrying capability? Does anyone here know the relative speeds of electron flow over copper and photonic propagation over fiber? I mean, assume you have both media types connecting Town A and Town B, 5 miles apart. Assume that you do not need amplification or regeneration to send a pulse between these two points. You launch a pulse on both, simultaneously, from Town A. Which pulse gets to Town B first? The pulse carried by copper, or the pulse carried by glass? Which is faster? Hey?
