Sure, scientists have demonstrated that the states of particles stay correlated at a distance, but as soon as the particle on one end is manipulated or forced into a state, it completely breaks the entanglement with the other particle, offering no possibility for encoding data that can be transferred at greater than light speed.

>scientists have used it to transfer data instantly

No, this is a misreading of the results. At this point it appears that actual transmission of information faster than light speed is impossible, even with entangled particles.

Quantum entanglement is, basically, putting a red card and a blue card in two envelopes, then randomly mailing one of them somewhere. Now you open yours. If you have red, you know the other is blue, and vice versa. It is not and will never be faster than light communication.
