Twisted Pair Vs Coaxial

1. It's cheaper
2. It works in a true star configuration. (Coax was a pass-trough ring or bus. Also, if there was a break in the cable, all hosts went off line.)
3. It allows the use of switched systems. More efficient.
4. It's faster. Coax capped out at 10 Mbps while twisted pair supports up to a full gigabit currently.

Cable and DSL should generally be a primary connection if its available. However, if not, that is where Satellite Internet comes into play. With Satellite Internet, yes, there are Fair Access Policies. However, this all comes back to the provider. For example, WildBlue Satellite Internet is launching a new satellite this summer with download speeds capable of 10mbps/2mbps upload. This would be like a medium Cable and a High DSL package. Also, once they launch their new satellite, FAP caps will be increased and people would not use up all of their bandwidth. NEVER CHOOSE HUGHESNET! IT'S LIKE DEALING WITH MARTIANS!
