Our family recently downgraded our internet connection, which limited our upload speed to 1Mbps. According to the Tor relay doc, a minimum of 2Mbps is recommended, yet a relay is considered "fast" if it has 1Mbps.
Will I be hurting more than helping if I run a relay on this connection speed? Should I run a bridge instead?

Hey, Got a little relay too with this same upload bandwidth. I think it's not a high speed relay too, but I think it's enough to help the network, this one has HSDir flag for example, and the LAN computers are using it with privoxy and SOCKS5.
I don't want to say a mistake, I think a relay can be a bridge too at same time, if you open the SOCKS5 port to the world ? Not sure about that... if someone can confirm it... ;)

You can be either a relay (with your IP address public) or a bridge (with your IP address known only to the Bridge Admins and the users, as long as it has changed since you ran a relay). And the way to run as a Bridge is to add BridgeRelay 1 to your torrc: the ports that need to be open are the OrPort and any Obfsproxy ports (never open your SOCKS port to the outside world, people will abuse/misuse it).
