One potential weakness of cable technology lies in the fact that most residential providers use a system that requires customers to share bandwidth with neighbors. If the guy next door is a BitTorrent-using bandwidth hog, your traffic could suffer
Without getting carried away, here is a short, and, no doubt incomplete, answer (I am also assuming you mean "versus wireless communication"): Cable's biggest disadvantages are: It requires a fixed physical connection between the source and destination and therefore does not support mobile applications. It is usually costly to install. Cable's biggest advantages are: It does not require allocation of radio spectrum, that is you can have as much bandwidth as you want as long as you can install enough cables. It is relatively immune to interference It can be more secure Note that while Cable also has the advantage of not requiring the legal/political process of allocating bandwidth it will usually require a legal/political process of approving the running of the cables.
Disadvantages of wireless networking, in comparison to wired networking, are all caused by the fact that wireless networking technologies do not use wires.
Since network communication doesn't use a private cable network in a wireless system, anyone can receive any packet that each network device receives or transmits. To ensure packets cannot be easily read or altered, wireless networking protocol employ sophisticated methods for encryption and authentication.
These methods reduce the available bandwidth because they enlarge the data which needs sending and receiving, and they increase the processing overhead substantially (unless encryption and authentication is supported with specialized hardware).
Another aspect of wireless networking is that the network uses a shared media. That is, the nominal bandwidth is shared among everyone within reach. In contrast, a wired network connection has a much higher nominal bandwidth, and no sharing with anyone outside the realm of the wired network occurs.
im not too familiar with them but i know that they used to be very inflexible without disrupting the data stream. i believe advancements may have been made since then but im not sure
More expensive to manufacture and install per foot than other networking cabling. More fragile and it takes great skill to splice together.
The conclusion on advantages and disadvantages of communication technology vary depending on the type of communication. In most cases, the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages.
if technology used well, it is good for the future development of man kind, and if wrongly used, there will be no mankind for the development !!
Advantages: Stealth aircraft are invisable to radar. Disadvantages: They have a reduced payload, and they have a high operating cost.

The advantages of technology transfer is that China can mass produce United States nuclear apparatus and sell it back for cheaper prices. The main disadvantage is there are compromises to US security.
