Grammatically, you could say more quickly or more slowly, but we wouldn't. We would say speed up or slow down.

Hello, You could use the phrasal verbs 'speed up' and 'slow down'. For example, 'Could you please slow down a little, I'm tired today.' I hope that helps. Christine

Dear Viktoriya, I think terms of quickly we use for at the moment, for example, she goes out very quickly but faster has a different meaning and we use to describe a steady action, for example, He participates in the running competition and moves faster than other opponents. Mohammad
