They are over the air or over "raw" cable here. Perhaps things are different
in the UK.

Hmm. I could see the difference. Maybe you need an appropriate signal. Or
maybe I was fooling myself. :-)

Better than other kinds of metals, in part because it doesn't corrode. I.e.,
in practice it conducts better than copper or aluminum. In theory, others
might be better, but you need that perfect connection to maintain it. Hence,
copper cables with gold cladding where it's exposed to the air.
