Yes, this is done all the time. Category 5, category 5e, and category 6 are the most common copper cables used at this time. They are basically advanced versions of the original phone cable.

Coax cable is another type of copper cable used to carry digital information. It is the cable the satellite dish and cable companies use and the most common type is RG-6. This cable is capable of faster data transfer speeds than the phone type cables.

Difference between ADSL and fiber optic?

ADSL is a way of using a pair of copper wires which is normally used for a phone line, to transfer high volumes of data. The copper wires were only originally designed to carry a phone call.Fibre optic cables are especially designed to transfer high volumes of data. They are made of glass, not copper wires.

Which wire can carry a higher current?

The ability of a wire to carry a higher current depends on its gauge (thickness) and material. Generally, thicker wires, such as those with a lower American Wire Gauge (AWG) number, can carry higher currents due to lower resistance and reduced heat generation. Additionally, copper wires typically carry more current than aluminum wires of the same gauge due to copper's superior conductivity. Always refer to electrical codes and specifications for safe current-carrying capacities.
