Your speed doesn’t change until a spell or ability says so, such as the inherent triggered ability that cares about opponents losing life during your turn. Notably, losing control of permanents with start your engines! doesn’t affect your speed.

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