Disadvantage of coaxial lines

Very vague question, as everything has advantages and disadvantages when compared to similar things.

Coaxial lines can only carry a limited amount of data. This is partially why High-Definition cannot stream across a coax-line in-real-time. This seems to be the most pertinent issue of all, so this is all I'm going to say, other than that there are many other issues when compared to competing technologies.

Other disadvantages include electrical grouding strategies between dissimilar electrical circuits, ease of installation, and even application (you use coax to wire almost anything, however, doing so requires using special adapters that in some situations requires using adapter, some of which do not exist or need to be specially made).

On a last note, Coaxial lines have been superseded by more advanced types of wires.
