So if I understand this correctly, the information is moving along the wire, at a speed between 60 to 100% of c.
This brings me to a Veritasium video of a few years back that I didn't quite understand at the time. [1]
The claim being made was that if you connected a light bulb to a switch, with 300'000 km of wire left and right, and if the switch and the light bulb were 1 m away, the light would turn on in 1/c seconds.
But this would imply that the information travel is not along the wires, but straight from the switch to the light bulb?
