One likely contributor to the relatively high rating of 'ccrelaycc' is residence in the Netherlands. Central Europe Internet is the best in the world for affordable high-quality high-capacity bandwidth. This is why so many fast relays are found in the region.

Pulled the BWauth ratings for you. The median value is selected for the consensus weight. Results look sane.

Due to the variance of performance of VPS instances, the last time I decided to add another single relay, I turned up 4 instances, waited a few days to see which one performed the best, then shut down the others. This only cost a few extra USD, at most, and greatly improved the value of the remaining node, which quickly became a guard.
