Comment (by arma):

 What is your goal?

 That is, there are all sorts of things that we might measure, and all
 sorts of things users might be curious about, and trying to display each
 of them has a cost in terms of e.g. user confusion.

 The bandwidth you'll get from Tor varies over time, depending mostly on
 congestion inside the Tor network, which impacts round-trip times, which
 impacts flow control, and things are interrelated in complex ways.

 Telling users the bandwidth between them and their first hop is not going
 to mean what some of them think it means.
