Hello,

The term "speed of electricity" covers in practice two completely different phenomena:

The speed of the electrical signal: close to the speed of light1; this speed corresponds to the starting speed of the electrons (or charge carriers) along the wire;

The speed of electric charges: a few fractions of a millimeter per second for a direct current but almost zero for an alternating current.

I hope I have been helpful,

Have a good day and a good week.
