Does the universe expand faster than the speed of light?

My inference: As per data and analysis, it is slower..
Explanation:
The reckoned distances of very old stars are all far less than 13.8
billion (B) light years (ly). The age of our universe is estimated as 13.8
B years or more..
In the years to come, if the age of a space body is proved to be
13.8 B years, its distance will be 13.8 B ly and the currently used
methods for estimating age of our universe would increase it to a
higher value.
Anyway, the expansion rate on the average appears
to be less than the speed of light.
Hubble constant = 71 km/s/mega parsec. Its reciprocal, in
compatible units, is the age of our universe, 13.8 B years and this is
not the age of the the oldest star.
