Hi,
I believe the Tor bandwidth scanner nicknamed "longclaw" is measuring relays in the US West Coast worse than other bandwidth scanners in North America. This happens on multiple ISPs, both ones I have and ones I don't.
The plots below can be a coincidence, but it shows at least there are more parameters for unexpected observations:
The consensus of a relay in Germany shows:
moria1 Fast Guard !HSDir Run Stab V2Dir Valid bw=17700 tor26 Fast Guard HSDir Run Stab V2Dir Valid dizum Fast Guard HSDir Run Stab V2Dir Valid gabel. Fast Guard HSDir Run Stab V2Dir Valid bw=21800 danne. Fast Guard HSDir Run Stab V2Dir Valid maatu. Fast Guard HSDir Run Stab V2Dir Valid bw=24000 farav. Fast Guard HSDir Run Stab V2Dir Valid bw=21500 longc. Fast !Guard HSDir Run Stab V2Dir Valid bw=1800 bastet Fast Guard HSDir Run Stab V2Dir Valid bw=17300
The mtr plot for the same server shows the hop "100ge1-1.core1.par2.he.net" is generating many packets losses. Where "100ge14-1.core1.nyc4.he.net" puts milli seconds into the game:

Relays at other hosting locations choose for different routes and longclaw sees them perfectly equal. It*s a case by case.
