Comment(by keb):

 In Canada at least, the assumption that home relay users can provide less
 than 500KB/s bandwidth may be obsolete by next year.  Cable and DSL
 carriers are pushing connections with either 2Megabit or 10Megabit upload
 as their "standard" package, albeit with total bytes transferred
 restrictions resulting in hibernations.

 However, that might mean users' expectations of speed from Tor will also
 be higher, at least in Canada.
