Oh but the speed of the signal does depend quite a lot on the transmission medium. In Cat-6 signals travel 2/3c. Can't find a quick reference for on-die or motherboard kinds of interconnects. If you had optical interconnects traveling through vacuum in a silicon chip, that's a full 50% faster (as in lower travel time for one bit over a distance) than Most copper ethernet.

I knew that we could slow down light to subsonic speeds, but TIL we can put it at a complete standstill!
