Comment (by IgorMitrofanov):

 I clicked on several sub-100 KB/s relays on blutmagie.de with the "Fast"
 flag set.
 Atlas showed 100+ KB/s observed bandwidth for them.

 For example:

 https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/A47AD4BCD488D28FF47A8B5702534B6D962BF06F
 http://blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=9ba951be5be9c4e5ec91e72be35d7529b5475262

 Advertised 100 KB/s, observed 119 KB/s, 25 KB/s on blutmagie. The chart on
 blutmagie says "Bytes/Sec Average" (so it could be that no circuits were
 built through the relay, reducing its average, due to its low consensus
 weight or because the observed bandwidth exceeded the advertised).

 Still, I browsing the modern web through that one could be painful.
 Torprojects's own blog page is ~700K with images.
