Size has nothing to do with it, bonded pairs and coax cable are two entirely different transmission mediums.

What about the "boosters" located all along the cable system, I think they are closer than 3 miles! And my DSL is twice as fast as the cable broadband I just got rid of, and $18 less a month! Mediacom = Bad! AT&T = Better VERIZON = BEST |
