I suspect another user's assessment that Tor middle-node bandwidth is now abundant, and thus nodes below a certain consensus fraction are left out in the cold, may be correct. Just my hunch though.

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).
