Test of a prototype quantum internet runs under New York City for half a month

To introduce quantum networks into the marketplace, engineers must overcome the fragility of entangled states in a fiber cable and ensure the efficiency of signal delivery. Now, scientists at Qunnect Inc. in Brooklyn, New York, have taken a large step forward by operating just such a network under the streets of New York City.

But how is the latency for online gaming? It’d be awesome if it’s near instantaneous, or limited only by the net code.

    Come check out Comcast’s New Quantum Internet plans! Up to instantaneously Download speeds and almost 40 mbs Upload speeds! Amazing! And if you get our route we’ll make you pay for it forever, and then charge you for it if it doesn’t look new when you return it! Life changing! Don’t forget our data caps! While it cost us a fraction of a fraction of what we charge you to send slightly more or less of your data we’re gonna charge ya for it anyway because fuck you! Bend over!

      Absurd. Comcast would never dare offer upload speeds as high as 40 millibits per second.
