Oracle Cloud's Lifetime free services (2 VPS + more)

Routing is poor. Oracle Mumbai to Google Mumbai goes via Chennai

Speed is very slow in Mumbai as well.
Download 35-45Mbps
and upload is just 15-25Mbps

Network throughput appears to be capped, not going above 50 mbps. The instance spec shows the network throughput to be about 0.5 gbps, but this is way below that.

Will try a bigger node and see if it performs better. There is 400 SGD of free credits valid for a month as well.

On a bigger node, seems better. This node is shown to have 2 gbps of network throughput.

I shifted all my data from Amazon to Oracle. Since I just use it for SSH and minor things, the speed is sufficient for me.

Lol the console doesn't load me at all on Chrome.

How is this site even working for you guys? After logging in, I can't access a single page. Only the header/navigation shows up. Rest of the page doesn't load - on both Firefox and Chrome.

Nvm. Poper blocker extension was responsible.

Unable to sign up using my debit card. Does it strictly need a credit card?

 

[Navjot Singh]

Which bank? Some debit cards work and some won't.

@Navjot Singh Its PNB.
@igloo It says International debit card on the front, have used the same card for AWS (although AWS fails to do auto debit each month, I receive a warning email each time and I have to go to my invoices and complete payment manually, maybe due to otp)
