"standard Speeds"

Question 2 - following on from my previous post for ATC

Please explain the term as used by ATC - Standard Speed
is it (a) 250 kt below FL100, (b) the standard speed that your company would use above FL100 and 250kt below FL100 (consider this - slowed by previous sector to min clean FL240, and on had over to the following sector you report "FL190, speed 210kt" you are then told by the controller "standard speed" - can we speed up or maintain 210kt due sequencing and then 250 below FL100?)
or (c) some answer that i have not thought about but the answer - to be provided by you will be, inspiring, a land mark item, a defining momment in aviation to remembered throughout time , cast in stone.........er sorry , got a bit to monty python there!
