Slow bandwidth on Azure Remote Desktop

Question

Hello,

I hope you can help. I am using 5G home broadband due to poor landline internet in my area and I get average speeds of 120mbps but when I am using Azure Remote Desktop I am only getting speeds of around 5.5-20mbps, mainly the bottom end of the scale.

I do not have any speeds issues when working from the office and connected to azure Remote Desktop, the issues only occur when working from home and connecting to azure Remote Desktop.

Hello there,

It depends on what you're using it for.

1. If you're using Azure VMs to host the apps for the end users it might be a wrong approach. Check out Azure RemoteApp
2. Make sure the VM's (infrastructure overall) is in the closest data-center
3. If VM as such is terribly slow (remember that by default they're using magnetic storages), consider "Premium storage" option to improve IOPS.
4. Try to troubleshoot RDP connection using this guide.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/troubleshoot-rdp-connection?toc=%2Fazure%2Fvirtual-machines%2Fwindows%2Ftoc.json

Hope this resolves your Query !!
