    Wormholes don’t fit into that idea. I would consider that to be FTL even though your actual speed doesn’t need to be all that fast to make use of them.

      I think they do. The logic holds as long as there is a method of faster than light communication, regardless of whether that method involves objects actually traveling faster than light or objects traveling through a wormhole.
