Only limited by the speed of light,
What exactly do you think the normal ip data is limited by on the same optical cable?
I thought we were talking about quantum entaglement and spooky action at a distance, which is famously not limited by the speed of light?
Am I missing something obvious?
- Yes, quantum entanglement occurs without the speed of light, but we famously cannot interpret information from it faster than the speed of light - it isn't FTL communication.
  
  famous potatoes
  
  Haha yeah. What?
  
  Got 'em!(?)
