This was a big issue for me too. Google Compute Engine seems to have no throttling like AWS does, or at least it&#x27;s a much higher cap. On an n1-standard-1 I routinely get 250+ MB&#x2F;s, and near 1 GB&#x2F;s for n1-standard-4 and larger. The only high bandwidth AWS instances I&#x27;ve found are the few expensive ones that spec 10 Gbit.
