There is no speed threshold mentioned in the Boeing NG manual.
What it does say is that when the ailerons reach 10 degrees up deflection, spoiler deflection is initiated. As speed increases the amount of physical control deflection required to make the aircraft roll decreases. Therefore you can deduce that flight spoilers only supplement the roll authority of the ailerons at the lower end of the speed regime. Does that help?
