The Speed of Electricity
Feb, 20, 2012

Propagation speed is affected by insulation, such that in an unshielded copper conductor range 95 to 97% that of the speed of light, while in a typical coaxial cable it is about 66% of the speed of light.[3]

Here’s more on Fiber Optics:

Each fiber can carry many independent channels, each using a different wavelength of light (wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM)).


Here is a link that gives a comparison between optical and elecrical transmissions. This explains a lot of my questions.

Also this is an interesting article.
