Well wireless data transmission is going in speed of light (it's wave). Wired transmission - slower than speed of light.

Wireless radio waves move at the same speed as light. Wired is very much slower.
However if you are talking about the data rate you can usually put more data down a wire because of the bandwidth.

Light and the waves used for wireless communication are the same kind of radiation. They are both electromagnetic waves which travels at the same speed when they are in the same place.
For the wired communication it is much less than speed of light as electrons -real particles have to travel.

By a significant margin!
According to the Theory of Relativity, nothing can reach the speed of light.
Whilst data transmission is pretty quick - in the grand scheme of things when compared to, say, the earths rotation.... its quite slow.

Yes, but cause nothing can reach the speed of light, except light itself.

Yes, there is always some small amount of attenuation within data carriers.
