Hi, I'm getting the issue related to the Azure Blob Storage. When we try to download the video, the speed of downloading is not consistent. Sometimes it takes minutes to download 40-MB video and sometimes it takes 7-8 seconds. How can we resolve that. Please assist me to resolve this issue.

Thank You!

    @Nikhil Vasdev Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

    • How are you downloading the video? Is this specify only for videos or other files?
    • May I know what download speed are getting and How much data are you downloading?
      You can use Azure speed test tool to check the speed: https://www.azurespeed.com/Azure/Download

    Can you try downloading same data using azcopy or Azure Storage explorer tool and check are you getting the same download speed?

    Additional information: There is no throttling on the Azure side below the published 60 MB/s scalability target for a single blob. If the network and client machine can handle the traffic then we will send it.

    Here's a guide for troubleshooting high E2E latency: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-monitoring-diagnosing-troubleshooting#metrics-show-high-AverageE2ELatency-and-low-AverageServerLatency

    You can also, refer the below documentation for azure storage performance. If it doesn’t I would recommend you create a technical support ticket to find the root cause of the issue. The ticket enables you to work closely with the support engineers and get a quick resolution for your issue. If you don't have the support plan we will try and help you get a one-time free technical support.
