Internet facts and myths

FACT

1. Internet data flow speed is limited to the speed of the slowest link between source to destination, regardless of the transport medium used.

(Be that copper, optic fibre, wireless or even wet string)

MYTH

Propagation of signal using Optic Fibre is faster than propagation of signal using copper.

(Propagation in both mediums is 66% plus or minus 5% of the speed of light in a vacuum)

Care to comment on the most basic fundamental speed limitation of the internet?

No thanks.  I care to post about the comparison overall between fibre and copper... which shows fibre is better.
