Important note: this is about quantum teleportation. They transferred data between two quantum computers without a cable or wifi. Teleporting matter, let alone matter in useful quantities is far off.
That’s not entirely correct, they did use a fiber optic cable to transfer the data, as the more detailed article linked in another comment states. Quantum entanglement itself can’t be used to transfer data; you still need to send the entangled particles through some physical means.
This is not correct.
Bluetooth is a radio frequency communication tool. RF is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and does, in fact, "move’ at the speed of light.

So, Bluetooth?
Bluetooth ain’t faster than the speed of light
It is, in fact, significantly slower, when it works at all.

I think they were making a joke about the bluetooth protocol rather than literally describing the electromagnetic field.
Oh… :(
What @knightly@pawb.social said, but I do appreciate the lesson!
Yes, I got really excited, wondering if they’d solved reassembly.
