Fastest ground speed shown for any commercial plane at groundspeedrecords is a 747-400 at 752kts, or 865mph.
Really neat information at ground speed records and Interestingly enough one of the records is a flight I think I was on on 2/13/14 SEA-BOS onboard an AS B738. I’ll have to go check my mileage account records for confirmation.
