Why do people always ignore my posts? I already gave a clear indication of Kal's non-flight speed.

@ 0:02 Kal attempts (appropriately enough) a left-handed "Superman punch". He covers roughly 20 feet from a sitting position in about 1 1/2 seconds, running the entire way. His speed is not lacking at all, he just never got a clear chance to demonstrate his foot speed like Faora did.
See also: Faora's jog at 1:22. Kal is capable of virtually anything she is.
@ around 0:20 Kal starts making hairpin turns at 400+ mph and is able to stop on a dime shortly after. He can clearly engage and disengage an opponent at these speeds whenever he wants. That [B]is
combat speed.Kal is way above Obi Wan or any other Jedi on film in terms of any speed classification you can think of. [/B]

Sorry. I must not have seen that.
However, did you also see the part, at 0:59, where Zod punches Kal into outer space? At 1:02, he is already outside the atmosphere, and slams into a satellite. The top of the atmosphere is over 10,000 km above the Earth's surface. And satellites above that are typically Geostationary. These types of satellites are usually found somewhere around 37,000 km above the Earth's surface, or about 23,000 miles. This means that Kal was flying away from Earth at about 7,666 miles per second, approximately. And Zod was EASILY capable of chasing him, and continuing the battle. The speed of sound, on average, is roughly 786 miles per hour. That is mach 1. Meaning that sound only moves about 0.22 miles per second. So, that means that was a combat speed feat of about mach 34,848.19, for Zod/Superman. And Superman was even stronger/faster than Zod, so he should be capable of slightly even more. Light is about 186,000 miles per second. This means that Superman/Zod is capable of fighting at around 1/24th the speed of light.
Btw, SilentMaster, hope that clears things up. 👆
Geostationary satellites are rare. Telecom satellites (and from the dish at the front of the satellite, it looks like this is the case) are placed within LOE (low earth orbit) of 400 to 1000 miles.

Geostationary satellites ARE rare, but they're called geostationary because they don't move And the satellite was clearly stationary. Telecom satellites, or ANY satellites in LEO "move at extremely high speeds and are not fixed in space in relation to the earth.". I quoted that from the site you just linked.
A Geostationary satellite is one used typically for communications and the like. The ones that Lex Luthor is most frequently shown using. That was a LexCorp satellite.
And satellites in LEO are anywhere from 400 to 1,000 miles above Earth's surface, like you said. That's still in the thermosphere. You can't see the entire Earth from an altitude in the thermosphere.

Metro Man is fastest hands down. Time literally stopped at least on a city wide basis and he screwed around for hours. He even had a directed energy weapon/laser(in space I think) frozen as he went about his day.Quicksilver is second. Bullets were practically standing still and he was moving so fast even the tiniest tap amplified the force transferred a great deal. If he'd been hitting those guys as hard as he could they would have imploded.
Beast is third. He caught a bullet from point blank with the opposite hand he'd fired with. Also he did it with his fingertips which is even harder. He and Sing both showed some pretty good fight speed throughout the movie.
Agents were dodging bullets and showing high speed fighting, however Neo easily blocked everything Smith could throw at him once he evolved. Although that's just Neo getting better as opposed to Smith downgrading. And while the Agents were fast, they weren't moving so fast humans fighting them in the Matrix couldn't fight back.
Obi-Wan has a pretty decent movement speed feat but that doesn't count. Even with precog, blocking blaster bolts casually is impressive. His fight with Anakin got pretty fast paced.
Superman was never really all that fast in a fight. Sure he could fly to India in a few minutes from the US, but Faora was dancing around him like he wasn't worth her time and he could barely keep up, if you could even call that keeping up.
Don'know enough about Russel or Super Bride to comment on them.
This list is basically correct.

It is called geostationary because it matches the earth's orbit and thus appears to be motionless relative to observers on the ground. But still orbits at a velocity of 3.07 km/s.
This was a Wayne satellite.

This is a picture of a low earth orbit. Notice the similarity with the picture above?

This, is a picture of the Earth from 22,000 miles taken by the Echostar 11 satellite. That looks nothing like the Earth shown in MoS.

Ppl should stop talking to you because you don't know shit.
