<sigh> digital data is transmitted as pure real analog electrical signals. Long wire runs can increase electrical resistance and signal loss, resulting data errors that may result in missing information, degrading quality or need be addressed by retransmission, resulting in slower realized speeds. Just because digital signals don't have the same cable issues as analog doesnt mean they dont have issues. They do.
