RG-6 cable is the coaxial cable most commonly used to distribute cable television or DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) signals throughout the home. RG-6 is very popular because it loses less signal than its smaller-diameter brother RG 59 and is more flexible than its larger-diameter brother RG 11. As signal travels through RG-6 cable, it loses strength. The farther it must travel, the more strength it will lose. How fast the strength dissipates through the cable depends not only on the characteristics of the cable but on the frequency of the signal....

When trying to make the decision between a T3 line and a T4 line, the main considerations are how much bandwidth you need and how much money you have to spend on the line.
