For an observer in a free float frame that starts from rest at infinity from a black hole, inside the horizon, does the observer fall faster than speed of light or slower?

Contrary to popular theory, black holes do not exist except in the minds of misguided theoretical physicists . . . most world-class cosmologists, despite laymen propaganda to the contrary, know better.

Black holes have never been observed. And, they certainly cannot be at the center of galaxies if the speed of the orbiting stars means anything.

However, if the situation you have envisioned did exist, your observer, being non-local, would have to fall faster than the speed of light . . . at hyper-relativistic speeds. These speeds are observed everywhere that there is non-local phenomena . . . as between the pulses of light waves that are interpreted as particle pulses; albeit, without mass; etc.; etc.
