The speed tests you ran are not Tor traffic. It's not even clear if they
are TCP or TLS.

Tor users run Tor clients, just like the bandwidth authorities do.

Here are 5 speed tests with actual Tor clients to your relay:

Comcast is well-known for bad peering, and slowing down particular
protocols. Search the list archives for details.

Here are some steps you can take to try to improve the speed of your
relay:

Let us know how you go!
