The Torrelays are run by volunteers in a decentralized way. So all relays are not of the same quality. Some are big and fast, while some others are smaller and slower. As a whole, the network could be faster if it had more capacity. To improve the capacity of the Tornetwork, you can either run a Torrelay yourself or [help existing relays](https://torservers.net/members/).
