I did see a report from someone boasting the large bandwidth via Pi at home - but this seems to be an exception rather than a rule, and he was in Germany, probably at a cozy digital distance from the local DirAuth :)
Since the consensus weight is the low-median of 5 measurements spread around the US and Western Europe, being in Germany only gets you one good measurement: you need 3 good measurements to get a high consensus weight.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median :
Because of this, the median is of central importance in robust statistics, as it is the most resistant statistic, having a breakdown point of 50%: so long as no more than half the data are contaminated, the median will not give an arbitrarily large or small result.
