Hello @Azure Contractor 2 ,

As per the Azure Compute backend team, the B-series is variable, so they have not published any networking numbers that may not always be accurate. The design of the B series does not provide the user with a consistent level of network performance. In addition, the B series is designed for more CPU intensive workloads as that is what we are really scaling out depending on credits. If network bandwidth is an issue then the B series is likely not the best choice.

You can find more information in the following thread : https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/8765

If you wish you may leave your feedback here requesting this. All the feedback you share in these forums will be monitored and reviewed by the Microsoft engineering teams responsible for building Azure.

Thanks,
