Instant transmission was light speed. Goku tells Trunks in this when he arrives on earth in the android saga. Trunks tells him he's 2 hours away. He tells Trunks about instant transmission and says something along the lines of, "You'd be surprised how fast you can get somewhere when travelling at the speed of light".
The "instant transmission is the speed of light" quote comes only from the English dub of the anime. Not in the original, or the manga. Not sure if the same line is in either version of Kai. The manga only refers to it as teleportation, or "instantaneous movement" in the direct translation of the Japanese.

speed isn't linear. the nimbus could fly at 500 mph, the same speed that arale could run. buu arc base gohan could fly at about 1,800 mph given the numbers in the quotes, but he's obviously more than 3.6x as powerful as arale. inconsistencies in speed are based on a number of factors, and most, if not all, are explainable.

tao: simple, he was flying through the upper atmosphere, and used ki to accelerate once he was in the thin air where there would be little wind resistance.

ssj gotenks: gotenks, of course, clocked the highest speed in all of dragonball, circling the earth 5 times in just a few minutes at most. however, the reason he was able to go so quickly is because he was outside of the atmosphere, where there was no air to slow him down.

IT: instant transmission is not lightspeed. it's instant.

no character in dragonball ever even got to relativistic speeds, much less lightspeed, without the use of a ship.

No.

DBZ Vol.12, pg.126-127
Trunks: "You were meant to defeat him, but for some reason there was a time discrepancy, and you couldn't. So I had to interfere."
Goku: "Yeah... His spaceship was faster and he was beating me here. I was planning to clobber him for good this time, but you came along..."
Trunks: "You still had three hours until your arrival. You couldn't have made it."
Goku: "Well...maybe, but...I learned a new skill."
Trunks: "A new skill...?"
Goku: "Yeah...what they call teleportation."

That's fine. He could still turn 3 hours in a spaceship into a few minutes so I'd say it's close to the speed of light.

It's instantaneous, not light speed.

Anything suggesting otherwise is anime filler.

he could travel anywhere in the universe in just a few seconds (3, according to the anime). one side of the universe to the other in 3 seconds is not light speed, it's instant.
list of canon sources:

the DB manga, and the Dr. Slump manga as it applies to the crossover during the rra saga.

list of non canon sources:

everything else, regardless of origin, format, or quality.

for those that blindly follow word of god
