The median reachable Bitcoin node's upstream bandwidth dropped by 39% year over year to 6.6 megabits per second. This is both baffling and concerning.

That was my first thought but bitnodes says it doesn't include bandwidth measurements for Tor nodes.

Also, the ratio of Tor to clearnet nodes didn't change meaningfully last year.

So it is a similar number of clearnet nodes but with worse bandwidth?

Correct.

More people running their nodes through VPNs, might cause a drop in bandwidth.
