Nobody wanted to point out first article in this blog expect Matthew and ByAsura, so let after all enlarge upon the topic. As I said before, Flash top speed according to lot of narrator's statements is the lightspeed.
Corroboratio
Moment with Wally's salvation of people from nuclear explosio. On these scans are placed clear statements of near lightspeed: "at a hair's breadth short of the speed of light", "As his body sloughs off the screaming aftereffects of near light travel." If you're so surprised how did he bother to save around 500k people in a such small fraction of time, just pay attention to explosion itself, that couldn't turn into a nuclear mushroom per 0.00001 microsecond. Also in other comic it was stated Wallace saved all those people in mere seconds before a nuclear device exploded, so statements about near lightspeed now are clamorously acquitted.
A clear indication of lightspeed as top velocity: "How fast is Flash? Both Jay's and Barry's top velocity was 186,000 miles per second, the speed of light. Sprinting, Jay could achieve that speed faster; Barry, however, could maintain light-speed longer, giving him the edge over greater distances."
Jay Garrick talks about what happens to speedsters at and above the speed of light: "186,000 miles per second. The speed of light. Strange things happen as you approach the superluminal barrier. Your body loses physical mass, converting to light energy. Your subjective experience of time changes, it flows like molasses, begins to fold back in upon itself."
Also DC encyclopedias claim lightspeed at best.
In fact, Wally once managed to achieve FTL speed, but almost instantly vanished into speedforce. It is also indisputable proof that faster-than-light speed (let alone massively FTL) cannot be achieved without passively falling into speed force or at least potent space/time distortions according to Jay Garrick (see above), that also probably leads to speedforce.
Further statement: "Running faster than the speed of light gets you in to the speed force."
Explanation from Wally what happens during exceeding lightspeed: "I'm breaking lightspeed, which means I'm skirting the edge of the speed force and letting every last erg of it out through me and into this dimension. I have one foot in each realm and for the first time, I'm holding the door open."
Wally was able to run out of black hole only via developing FTL, therefore by running through speedforce. Another direct confirmation of inability to surpass lightspeed in conventional space.
Miscellaneous controversial and misunderstood feats
Well-known achievement with a run across planetary surface per septosecond in orfer to reset every radio on Earth. Wally's never shown anything like it. He only calculated how much time he has got to the nearest septosecond and figured this was more than enough time to reset every radio on Earth, it's expressly stated on the same scan. So septosecond perception with sub-light running speed.
Wally said their fight with Eobard Thawne took a picosecond, while he only managed to develop lightspeed and hit his opponent in jaw: "The faster an object moves, the more mass it attains. At lightspeed, my fist hits like a white dwarf star." This blow literally is the whole fight, repeat twice, he just reached the speed of light to hit Thawne with mass of white dwarf star, which also means they were running slower than light before this certain moment.
All of you must understand that calculations with massively FTL outcomes no way can be right, because initially Flash speed was limited to lightspeed and they can run faster only inside speedforce, that passively draws them into itself at attempt of FTL running. That's not a subspecies of PIS or something like that, but completely reliable evidence of what I'm trying to tell you. VSB clearly has huge problems with similar things like that and scaling of MFTL combat speed from flight in hyperspace...
