Comment(by Sebastian):

 We do cap the bandwidth at the max believable rate (we never removed this
 functionality when looking at values in descriptors, we only removed it
 implicitly by using consensus values).

 We're never trying to use consensus bw for bridges (we first check if the
 node is in the consensus, only if it is we're trying to use the consensus
 value).

 I'll run tests in a bit to see how long the bw actually remains at 0. I
 believe this is the case for quite a bit in the bad case, which means your
 Tor might end up not working during that time.
