Is there proof that the speed of light is not the speed limit?

The speed of light is only the speed limit for information. There are many experiments showing that we can made "non-information" travel faster than the speed of light. For example, in quantum mechanics the phase velocity is faster than the speed of light but the group velocity is slower (or equal to) the speed of light. Also, if two light waves are traveling at the speed of light and they interact, e.g. they constructively interfere with each other, the interference can travel faster than the speed of light. Once again, the speed limit of light is only on information. The word "information" is sometimes tricky to define though.
