[Share]Speed is so slow this service is totally unusable!

I signed up for a 1 proc VM in China for the purpose of testing browsing to my company's website, and the RDP connection speed was so slow it was barely usable. I decided to pony up the dough and purchase a 2 proc VM with twice the RAM and bandwidth, and I can't even connect to the management console to log into the VM and enable RDP!  It paints 1/4 of the screen and stops. It took 15 minutes to paint the entire screen, and I can't even type any characters. This is absolutely ridiculous. And I'm required to pay for a support ticket to report the inability to use a service I paid for??

Anyone thinking of signing up for this service, do yourself a favor and don't. They'll take your money and you'll get nothing in return. If someone from Alibaba happens to read this post and corrects the problem, I'll hapilly update the post reflecting so... assuming they don't delete it first.

Hi Keith, I assume you were accessing the server from outside of China.

Poor public internet connection from abroad to domestic China is very common, and this happens to everyone, Alibaba Cloud, AWS or Azure, you name it.

A common practice is using VPN, you can establish a VPN tunnel to cross the border. You are either set using strongSwan or try OpenVPN.

I hope this will lead you to the right direction.

here is my opinion  , the speed of the service is really really slow ! i cant even login to y console without waiting for 20 minutes sometimes , in other times its fast and reliable , but the most times i need really long time to login
