Quantum entanglement or something like it will probably be the answer. You take a pair of entangled particles, put one of them on one side of the planet, and put the other on the opposite side of the planet. You monitor both using identical methods. You change the state of one particle on one side of the planet, and the other on the opposite side of the planet changes instantaneously as well. Based on what is known as of now, there is no distance at which should cause a delay. Meaning you could have communication systems based on quantum entanglement and you could instantly communicate across space, galaxy to galaxy, with no delay whatsoever. The speed of light would be a joke in comparison.

You first need to bring the entangled particles to the destination, but theoretically it could work. Then all we need is transporters or stargates. No need for generation ships or cryo chambers, simply send one with a stargate onboard. It's just informtation you can transmit ofcourse, any raw materials need to still be hauled back physically.
Let's get quantum entangled internet on Earth first, away with the lag.

True. Steps would need to be taken before quantum entanglement could be put to use in that sense, and yes, lag free internet well before that.
