You can tell I'm bored when I start replying to questions outside my area of expertise. But I guess this is not an answer, just another question poorly worded. I believe the velocity of an electron in a conductor is a function of the potential energy applied and the resistance to it's movement. So it will vary. However, I'm a little unsure if this is an appropriate measure since this might apply to electron drift as opposed to the rate of a signal transmission.( I've heard the analogy of a conductor to a full hose of water. The instant the pressure is applied (voltage), flow is noticed at the other end (signal). On the other hand, I always assumed light transmission in a fiber cable was at the speed of light (in glass/quartz??). Now I recall recently hearing about a technology that enables the signal transmitted by the light "flow", might be able to be pushed ahead of the light, thus a signal actually could be transmitted faster than the speed of light. Does this ring a bell with anyone? I suppose instantaneous is still faster than "above the speed of light". Now consider throughput?? That's different. Take it easy, Ger
