It can take up to 6 months in my experience until a relay is fully utilized, and some just never never reach peak bandwidth throughput for whatever reason.

Hi tor-relays@,

I run a FreeBSD-based Tor relay across two instances on "Wave G", a Gigabit ISP in the Seattle metro. You may also know them as CondoInternet or CascadeLink, but I joined only this year on a Wave-branded service.

These relays have had low consensus weights since I got the service in January.

The instances are below:

My server and router are fine, I am in the single digits in terms of CPU use on both. The same exact server and router on Verizon FiOS in New York never gave me this issue.

There was an underlying ISP performance issue impacting me which led consensus weight values to be low, but my ISP has since upgraded their equipment in my building. In general, my Internet performance has improved by magnitudes.

However, my consensus weight has stayed more or less flat since the equipment upgrade, instead of jumping higher. What gives?

How long would it usually take for the bandwidth scanners to measure the higher bandwidths?

Should I re-key my relays and start from scratch?

About switching ISPs, I'm not switching to Comcast for obvious well-documented reasons, and neither CenturyLink nor Frontier/Ziply Fiber serve me, not even copper.

Best,

Neel Chauhan
