Photons propagate at 0.65c in fibre - the exact speed does vary
depending on whether its single or multimode fibre.  

Hi Geoff - not to reveal my ignorance or anything, but ... is that 65
degrees celcius? 

No, it is not on the thermometer. It is the speed of light. 
As in E=mc**2.


The equivalent EMR propagation speed in coppr is 0.75c

What is EMR?


Electro Magnetic Radiation.
