My mistake, 2Mbits does mean 250 KBytes. I get confused when
converting bits/bytes. Sorry for that confusion.<br>
<br>
I found where my numbers came from:

"If you have at least 250 kilobytes/s each way, please help out Tor
by configuring your Tor to be a relay too."<br>
<br>
This is where I understood 250KBytes to be a suggested minimum,
which is still slightly confusing since 100KBytes is the minimum for
a "fast" relay flag.<br>

<pre wrap="">While I don't have any actual numbers, I'm pretty sure you won't be
getting a guard flag with that kind of speed. Actually, I don't think
you'll get much traffic at all with that slow of a relay, especially
since the recommended upload speed is 2Mbps (1600kBytes/s).

No, 2Mbps are 250KBps, 2 Megabit = 250 Kilobyte (as 8 Megabit are 1
Megabyte).
Recommended minimum upload speed to run a relay is 100Kilobyte/s, so
1Mbps is already enough to run a relay. [1]
To be a relay, your bandwidth has to be at least 250KB/s. [2]

I meant "to be a guard" here, sorry
