You are generating traveling waves on a stretched string by wiggling one end. If you suddenly begin to wiggle more rapidly without appreciably affecting the tension, you will cause the waves to move down the string.

Answer:

At the same speed as before

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is dependent on the tension in the string, and since the tension isn't changing, the speed of the waves will also not change.
