The traditional technologies, and the new technologies, both rely on some of the same conduits to transmit signals to and from your home. These include:

Copper Wire -- Twisted pair (traditional “POTS” system)

Coaxial Cable -- Regular cable

Fiber Optic Cable -- Faster transmission speeds than other systems

Hybrid -- Fiber optic cable in the main provider network connected to regular coaxial cable to your home

Radio Signals -- Satellite television, and wireless devices: cellular telephones, broadband wireless mobile cards, and mobile wireless PDA phones
