As others have written here, the cancellation of speed restrictions does not cancel altitude requirements on a SID or STAR, unless ATC specifically states so.

One peculiarity I've noticed is that when on arrival to places like SY, BN, ML we will often have speed cancelled from TOPD. However, unless ATC specifically state "cancel STAR speed restrictions", the 250kt below 10000' still apply. A small trap, but a trap nonetheless.

Matt L, it would be extremely unlikely for a jet to be given the ODALE 3 (or any of its previous iterations) as that is a propeller STAR. The difference in altitude requirements between the jet and prop STARs is in the order of 2000' (9000' for jets vs 7000' for props at 20 DME SY).
