Why would someone spend more money for a coaxial cable versus a twisted pair wire when one costs more but both can be tapped? It seems like a frivilous spend... If someone really wanted security, wouldn't they just buy a fiber-optic cable?

Thank you,

  1. Coaxial cable has MUCH higher bandwidth than twisted pair copper wire. Tapping a phone line is a federal felony, so it really isn't that much of a concern, unless you've got state secrets to protect.....
