You're talking about a different topology, though. Twisted-pair is cheaper per metre so allows you do to star topologies which work better. Especially so if you consider equivalent cables, so a hypothetical Cat6A equivalent coax vs Cat6A UTP or whatever.
- bluGill 3y agoCoax per meter was cheaper than cat-3 twisted pair (Cat5 existed but nobody was using it). That is before the star topology required a lot more meters of cable for twisted pair. Twisted pair was easier to work with than coax, and star topology avoided a lot of trouble with other topologies so it won out anyway, but it wasn't cheaper at first.
