Hard to tell. A few years ago I had an ISP with a fat shiny direct line to the 
DE-CIX. So in theory everything was wonderful, it was not. Rule of thumb: Get 
as near as possible to the auth servers, same data center would be perfect :)

Having all relays in one data center would make the state actors very very 
happy. I am still a fan of more auth servers all over the world. But who am I 
to tell what to do. 

The bw is normally displayed in kilobytes. So you have 9000 kilobytes thats 
around 9 megabyte and Tor will use (in best case scenario) 4,5 megabyte. ATM 
Tor is using 1 megabyte :(

If you really want to know how much Tor will give you, run it as an Exit. Tor 
will love you and gives you every bit of traffic it has. Please don’t do this 
from home or if you are not sure what you are doing etc . (insert big fat 
disclaimer)
