FWIW, Fedora requests that new mirrors have at least 100Mbps
available, especially if in a developed and already well-served
country.  We'll accept lower in lesser-served countries.
MirrorManager uses a weighted random draw to select mirrors, so
mirrors advertising 5Mbps will get selected 1/20 as often as mirrors
advertising 100Mbps, or 1/200 as often as mirrors advertising 1Gbps.

This helps us not overload the lower-capacity mirrors while being
able to take some advantage of them.  However, it's often about these
slower mirrors that I receive end user complaints due to the slow
speed.
