[MLB-WIRELESS] Whats Faster ??

[Steven Haigh]

This is an interesting one...

Radio waves travel at the speed of light... Don't know how or why, but they
do...
CAT5 is basically radio over wires (if I recall, it's a 100Mhz signal over
the CAT5)...
Fibre is obviously at the speed of light...

I think there'd be a few factors in working out the delay in different
mediums, I think that light slows down slightly in various substances...

Bottom line, I don't know :)
