No, they were actually over the speed of light for a "portion of the signal": "They were also able to create extreme conditions in which the light signal travelled faster than 300 million meters a second. And even though this seems to violate all sorts of cherished physical assumptions, Einstein needn't move over relativity isn't called into question, because only a portion of the signal is affected."
