Through three nested VPNs, about 10 Mbps each way, with 100-150 ms rtt. Plus Tor, about 1-3 Mbps each way, with 500 ms rtt or more.

You must have a really good internet connection. I pay close to $200 USD/mo for a wireless, 10Mbps max connection, and that's literally the best I can get unless I were to personally invest in running a fiber-optic line to my house.
Yes, I have a decent uplink. And I use fast VPN services.
With 10 Mbps, you should be able to get 3-5 Mbps through nested VPNs. I use UDP for all of them, so there's no retransmission chaos. As you add VPNs to the chain, bandwidth doesn't necessarily go down. But rtt increases, of course.
