Umh, I don't know about this issue. What I know is that my personal
(home) connection is with the largest ISP (Telmex / Infinitum), and I
was able to run a Tor relay for some time at home, no issues.

How do you suggest me to check this? So far, I have only used Tor as a
client. Should I just set up a relay and report on my findings? (I
plan to do it next time I have some free time available... Problem is,
I never have :-( )

Again, AFAICT, using Tor as a client works quite well. Help me check
this, and I'll do more thorough checks.
