Habla o hable más rápido?

Hola. What is correct?

Por favor, habla más rápido.
Por favor, hable más rápido.

I would of thought the subjunctive is used here but I'm not 100% sure.

Gracias. :)

Both. This does not relate to the subjunctive. Can tell why? (now that you know a bit more)

This is pretty confusing. :) I guess the subjunctive wouldn't be used because I'm stating I want someone to speak slower or faster but it's a wish so it could be used.

you're misunderstanding...neither relates to the subjuntive.

You're right since there's no "que".

What's the difference between using the "habla" and "hable" verb in the sentence?

What would a native say?

Please note that this is the imperative conjugation for two different persons:
habla -> tú
hable -> usted
