Comment:

 So based on the votes, increasing the 100 KB/s threshold won't have much
 effect b/c the measured threshold (which I'm assuming is the 12.5th
 percentile of consensus weight?) is actually below 100 KB/s.

 A probably impractical suggestion: could something like TorPerf be used to
 decide this threshold? The median *circuit* BW  is around 300 KB/s
 (https://metrics.torproject.org/torperf.html?start=2017-08-01&end=2017-10-30&source=all&server=public&filesize=5mb),
 so having a relay with a lower bandwidth than that will make it very
 likely this relay will be a bottleneck for you.
