The current routing algorithm is not utilizing low-bandwidth
relays as well as it should. This is a known problem but difficult to
solve. If you can provide below 10 Mbit/s, it might be better for now 
to
go with a bridge instead (with going through the additional steps 
necessary
to set up a 'modern' obfs2/3 bridge).
