But remember we are talking about speed here, wich has a specific meaning.
Velocity is speed in a particular direction. In reference to your question the terms are interchangeable.

If the question is simply asking is there a difference in the speed (velocity) of light, between light and radio waves in vacuum, and between light and radio waves in air, then refraction, different trajectories in a the medium etc are not relevant.

Seems like the question has been made unnecessarily complicated.
