Hard to tell. A few years ago I had an ISP with a fat shiny direct line to the DE-CIX. So in theory everything was wonderful, it was not. Rule of thumb: Get as near as possible to the auth servers, same data center would be perfect :)
Having all relays in one data center would make the state actors very very happy. I am still a fan of more auth servers all over the world. But who am I to tell what to do.
The bw is normally displayed in kilobytes. So you have 9000 kilobytes thats around 9 megabyte and Tor will use (in best case scenario) 4,5 megabyte. ATM Tor is using 1 megabyte :(
If you really want to know how much Tor will give you, run it as an Exit. Tor will love you and gives you every bit of traffic it has. Please don’t do this from home or if you are not sure what you are doing etc . (insert big fat disclaimer)

Hi! Thanks. I'm curious what, in the consensus, suggests that I'm too far from the Authority Servers? I don't know how to read that page; I can't even figure out what units they're using to report bandwidth. One of the relays is one hop away (via a lightly-loaded terabit switch) from the (formerly known as) Level3 tier 1 network, so should have excellent peering worldwide unless CenturyLink has degraded it since their acquisition last year. The other sits two or three hops (depending, apparently, on the phase of the moon) from the tier 1 network run by Telia. So, at least with my limited understanding of internet topography, they should both be topologically close to most hosts worldwide. But I will admit that there is much that I don't understand about routing at this level. Again, thanks... --Ron On Jan 13, 2019, at 11:58, niftybunny <abuse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Looking at https://consensus-health.torproject.org/consensus-health.html my best guess would be that you are too far away from the Authority Servers. So your delay is too hight and the bw measurement is too low. Thats why the most high speed relays cluster in some countries / providers. I am sure Teor could this explain much better than I do.
