Hi,

when reading that, this was my suspicion as well.

Ask your provider if the port is shared between other customers (common 
practice for virtual servers, for example I used to have one with a port speed 
of 100MbE, in the Czech Republic, however the port was sharted 1:3, so there 
were always 2 other customers on the same physical ethernet connection on the 
host system).

200 MBit/s sounds like it might be shared 1:5, if it's a QEMU/KVM virtual 
server.. you (the host or administrator) can easily bridge 5 different machines 
onto one 1 GbE physical ethernet adapter.

This is how I used to configure my VM machine on my colocated server:

><interface type='direct'>
>   <mac address='52:54:00:ff:3b:1e'/>
>   <source dev='eno2' mode='bridge'/>
>   <model type='e1000'/>
>   <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x00' >function='0x0'/>
></interface>

Check the autonomous system ID for your datacenter, and it's peering as well.. 
a lot of hosts in SA just don't have the best connection.

Also, if your relay indeed is new, it might take a while for it to pick up 
speed.. for Guard relays, this can take longer than 8 weeks, for exit relays it 
is usually around 1-2 weeks.
