Hello, I hope you are all well.

My question is regarding bandwidth and as per my requirement, I set up my server in Central India, Because most of my audience is from Central India. My audience and server are in the same region but still azure is giving me bandwidth with charges of another region. While Azure should use the bandwidth from the data center in India. Such as, my server's data center is in India but Azure uses the bandwidth of an Australian data center. After doing some research I realized that the charges I was reading were from Microsoft Global Network (MGN).

I hope you understand and now I ask my question which questions you have to answer I will be thankful to you.

Question: As I told you my server data center is in India and Azure should use Indian bandwidth but why is Azure using Australian bandwidth? Capture

    @Kinsely Tom ,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well. Apologies for the delayed response.

    Please note that both India and Australia come under the same Zone (in terms of billing). User's image

    See : Bandwidth pricing.

    To understand, why the bill was generated using 'AU East', we will need a specialized 1:1 session, where a support engineer can have access to your subscription. If you have a support plan you may file a support ticket, else please do let us know, we will try and help you get a one-time free technical support

    Cheers,

    Kapil
