Any information - digital or otherwise - can be transferred, at maximum, at the speed of light in a vacuum - about 300,000 km/sec. Sometimes information actually travels at that speed; for example, when receiving a satellite transmission. When information travels through a copper cable, or an optic fiber, it will typically travel at about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum. Note that any machine that has to repeat the signal - a hub, switch, router, server, etc. - introduces additional delays.
