1. What do you mean when you state that entangled particles have
"communications"?
2. Entangled particles can not be used to send _information_ at a speed
greater than the speed of light.

If you can show that item 2 above is false, you will become both famous
and
rich.

One more example: Nothing can travel faster than the
speed of light yet the communications between entangled
particles obviously travels faster than the speed of
light.

The Chiao Group at Berkeley is investigating superluminality. Ryan Frewin,
Renee George, Deborah Paulson have a web page about superluminality, in
which they say: "...

About ten years ago, Steven Chu and Stephen Wong at AT&T Bell Labs in New
Jersey measured superluminal velocities for light pulses traveling through
an absorbing material ...
In 1991, Anedio Ranfagni et al at the National Institute for Research into
Electromagnetic Waves in Florence, Italy measured the speed of propagation
for microwaves through a "forbidden zone" inside square metal w aveguides.
The reported values were initially less than the speed of light, until the
experiment was repeated in 1992 with thicker barriers ...
Also in 1992, Gunter Nimtz and colleagues at the University of Cologne
reported superluminal speeds for microwaves traversing a similar forbidden
region ...
In 1993, the most solid experimental evidence came from Chiao and his
colleagues Aephraim Steinberg and Paul Kwiat at the University of California
at Berkeley. Using the Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer ... they were able to
measure the tunneling times of visible light. According to Brown, "the
researchers found that the photons that tunneled their way through the
optical filter arrived 1.5 femtoseconds sooner than the ones that traveled
through air. The tunneling photons seemed to have traveled at 1.7 times the
speed of light" ...
Similar experiments by Ferenc Krauss et al at the Technical University in
Vienna in October of 1994 "strongly suggest that as they progressively
increased the thickness of the barrier the tunneling time saturated toward a
maximum value" ...
In March of 1995, at a colloquium in Snowbird, Utah, Nimtz announced that he
had sent a signal across twelve centimeters of space at 4.7 times the speed
of light . The signal was a modulation in the frequency of his microwave
source matching Mozart's 40th Symphony ... Even Chiao and his colleagues
were adamantly opposed to describing Nimtz' work as the sending of a signal
....
Why was the bar of Mozart's symphony not a signal? ... If a wave packet's
shape upon incidence is smooth and well- defined, it is a straightforward
calculation to determine its shape after transmission. Because the final
shape can be mathematically determined ... most scientists would not
consider a smoothly varying function to be a signal. ... Chiao and Steinberg
were quick to point out that Nimtz' symphony was not a signal, but simply a
smoothly varying pulse. .. A sudden change in the shape would still travel
at only light speed, and only a sudden change, according to Chiao, could be
regarded as a signal ... ".

Clearly some things do appear to travel faster than the speed of light in a
vacuum. The jury appears to be out as to whether any practical use can be
made of the phenomenon.
