Fastest airliner? (Except Concorde and TU-144)

[Dave]

So then people, what is the fastest ever commercial airliner (except for Concorde and the TU-144)?

My shortlist is:
Vickers (BAe) VC-10
Boeing 747
Convair 880/990

But it could be a different aircraft?

I am talking about maximum cruise speed in level flight, not in a dive (I know a test plane Douglas DC-8 went above mach one in a shallow dive but this does not count!).

Thanks for your help.
