Cable speed

December 3, 2004 10:50 PM from

So why does a cable allow faster downloads than a phone line. Doesn't electricity flow at the same rate in both? Just an ignorant question, but something I have always wondered.

Yes I have better things to do on a Friday night, but my girl dowsn't get off work until 10:30.
