Your AS shows up as BellSouth.net, which redirects to AT&T.
Have you asked them if they're throttling you?

(Or do you work for BellSouth?)

You can check the warning and notice level Tor logs to see the amount
of traffic Tor thinks it is handling.

You can also tap or mouse over the bandwidth in Atlas, and it will show
you what's limiting your relay - in this case, it appears to be the consensus
weight. (The observed maximum bandwidth is 2.44 MBps, and the rate and
burst are 5 and 10 MBps.)

Unfortunately, sometimes relays get stuck in a low measurement category.
We're working on a test environment, so we can start fixing issues like this.

In the meantime, you can try the following things:
* restart the relay
* change the IP address
* delete all the relay keys and start again

You might want to wait a week or so after trying each step.
Please let us know if one of these things works, it will help us diagnose
the issue.
