Each player tracks their speed (or lack thereof) separately. Increasing your speed has no effect on whether another player has speed.

2025-02-07wotc

A player “has max speed” if their speed is 4.

If an effect needs to know what a player’s speed is and that player doesn’t have a speed, their speed is considered 0.
