Oakape -300 kts was what domestic jets used to fly, these days its mostly 280 kts. As a rule of thumb if you haven't been issued a time over a fix or a specific speed, it doesn't matter. We wouldn't base separation or sequencing on what we think is your descent speed, well not twice anyway! If you want to be sure there is no reason you can't tell us what your profile speed is when you are assigned descent.
