Attempts to work around this by changing the user agent string do not appear to work. While the specific cause is not yet known, and Cloudflare doesn't appear to have acknowledged the issue, it's suspected that they might be moving to some sort of whitelist of browser signatures.

MrPlow submitted via IRC for Runaway1956:Tor project upgrades network speed performance with new systemThe Tor Project has implemented three new algorithms in the latest protocol version (0.4.7.7) to address network congestion and increase browser speeds. The new system, called Congestion Control, promises to eliminate speed limits on the network. The algorithms are designed to minimize packet loss (Tor-Westwood), estimate queue lengths (Tor-Vegas), and estimating bandwidth delays (Tor-NOLA).

Furthermore, LoRa is limited to a few kilometres or perhaps 10s of kilometers in most cases. However, one possible interesting solution is described here - satellite relays.
