If you actually read the article, you see that this problem is 100% solvable if you use a VPN.

Aye if you want mid-90s download speeds

The speeds are as fast (or slow) as the slowest member in the chain. If most people who participate have slow connections, then most of the times it'll be slow. But if the majority uses fast connections, then most chains/tunnels will be fast.

Again, it's a chicken and egg problem: people who want fast downloads (and thus have fast pipes) won't participate because it's slow, but in doing so, they miss a chance to be part of the solution.

i2p isn't that slow. Tor is slow.

That's what I understood too, but I thought I was wrong since this group can not be that stupid.
