wireless technology
WiFi standards of communication are continually improving. New protocols for how devices interconnect are being developed which offer ever-higher potential speeds.
WiFi never really reaches its full potential due to interference from things such as distance from the router and line of sight issues

The most common modern cabling standards for data connection is known as CAT-5 or CAT-6. This comprises of twisted pairs of cables. When the wires are twisted, they are less likely to conduct electricity from outside sources (such as a lightning strike). Twisted wires also suffer less from interference.
CAT5 can operate at speeds of 10Mb's, 100Mb's or 1000Mb's

Data is transmitted in light beams which bounce off the sides of the cable and are interpreted by the recipient. In practice, the limiting factor for data transmission for this medium is the speed that the data can be read from the recipient as well as sent from the sender (and any hardware in between).
