Wouldn't a "quantum internet" have more stable latency? I generally notice that my latency fluctuates between 50ms and 100ms. I attribute this to the other users on my ISP's network, all the routers/switches/etc between me and the server I'm connecting to, and the load the server is under. I assume that the first two things (users and equipment) would be mitigated by using entanglement to communicate. Can someone tell me why this line of reasoning might be wrong?



You wouldn't have point to point links with everyone else. You'll still have common trunk lines that get congested.
