I've had my Rohloff-equipped tandem up to 46.5 mph. I wasn't commuting at the time, though.
I've had my Sturmey Archer 8 speed hub, 16" wheel folding bike up to 45. That was on a commute.
I had my Shimano nexus-8 equipped touring bike up to 43 last Sunday. I've had it faster before, but don't remember the specifics.
