A change of runway to 07 and having a high speed climb drummed in by almost exclusively flying 25 departures, this previous experience probably contributed to this.
This is bad advice. The FAA never waives the speed restriction with one exception. That is if your minimum clean speed is higher then 250 knots you may fly that speed. If you are more then 12 miles offshore the speed does not apply.
