Mesh networks will always perform poorly. Each wireless hop cuts throughout in half. People don’t want their device’s battery charge and timeslots used to relay other people’s traffic. To simulate the slowness, use Tor full time.
The bandwidth issue could be helped by having multiple radios like LoRaWAN does right? I think they use up to 8 radios on 8 different channels to have simultaneous data transfer with multiple clients.
