Even Goku at the cell games seem to fly just as fast as he did in the Frieza saga, why?

Hmm.. That may be those anime eyes of yours. I wouldn't count on that, to be honest.

Hate to say.

Its all plot, Like goku when escaping the Chamber can go to freeza in a reaction but Buuhan take a while to reach Goku and Vegeta. Not to mention you got Gotenks SSJ pre flying around the world 9x in 6 seconds.

Where do people get the idea that Gotenks flew around the planet in ten seconds or less?

Get some laxative.

The only argument I can think of is the amount of time it took Buuhan to fly to Goku and Vegeta. I'm not even sure if this was well illustrated in the manga.

Ummm... so you actually think Gotenks couldn't circle Earth in 10 seconds? Weeelll...

But I agree, anime might have most to do with it. Which reminds me of the Dragonball Wikia... "Gogeta SSj4 is the fastest character in the series, so fast that the viewers cannot see his movements"

I swear...

Vegito was that fast to and so was goku against the ginyu.

Anime shows feats very well, Manga is meh

Anime has to show feats well because it's catering to our moving eyes. It's a moving medium. The manga isn't.

well, even in the manga, buu arc gohan is shown to be capable of only 3,000 kph over long distances.

gotenks did circle the earth 5 times, but it's more likely that it took him the full 3 minutes that you can hold your breath than the 6 seconds or so the anime showed. gotenks was in space where there is no wind resistance, though, so it makes sense that he would have the fastest travel speed, since he's the only one who actually flew through space.

goku traveled the 1/2 mile or so to where frieza was in a short amount of time, but it was only a short distance. compare this to krillin and gohan taking 4 days to get to guru's house, because they were keeping their ki low.

we have no clue where goku and vegeta were in comparison to buuhsn. given the length of their conversation, though, it probably only took him a couple of minutes to get to them, so even if they were only a hundred miles away, that is still the highest speed in the atmosphere in the entire series.

so yeah, travel speed improves, just not to the same extent that power or fighting speed do.
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.

It's improving, but sometimes it's inconsistent.
