    Theoretically anywhere between 0 m/s and 3 x 10^8 m/s (vacuum). Just like visible light certain materials have a high group index and low group velocity for light-waves. In 2001 scientists momentarily stopped a beam of light.

    at the speed of light

    infrared is light right below the frequency of viable light. The frequency doesn't change the wave speed.
