This topic describes how to enable premium bandwidth plans and configure Internet access for cloud computers.
Background information
Public bandwidth types
Type | Description | Scenario |
Basic bandwidth | Cloud computers cannot access the Internet over the network of your on-premises devices. By default, the peak bandwidth of each cloud computer is 5 Mbit/s, which is free of charge. End users can access the Internet from cloud computers. | Scenarios that do not require high traffic or bandwidth. |
Premium bandwidth | You can set a custom peak bandwidth as the dedicated bandwidth and use a unique IP address. You are charged for enabling and using premium bandwidth plans. | Scenarios that require stable network bandwidth. |
Billing description

In the Edit panel, select a new peak bandwidth as prompted.
NoteYou can upgrade or downgrade the premium bandwidth plans attached to office networks. The new settings take effect immediately for cloud computers in those networks.
Confirm fees and proceed as prompted.
Throttle the bandwidth of cloud computers
After you enable a premium bandwidth plan, you can configure a bandwidth throttling rule and apply the rule to a cloud computer to deliberately slow down the Internet speed.
On the Premium Bandwidth Plans page, find the plan that you want to manage.
Click Configure Throttling in the Actions column.
On the Configure Throttling page, click Create Rule.
In the Configure Rule step of the Create Rule panel, specify the Rule Name, Upstream Bandwidth, and Downstream Bandwidth parameters, and click Next.
In the Bind Cloud Computer step, click Bind Cloud Computer. In the Bind Cloud Computer dialog box, select the cloud computer to which you want to bind the throttling rule and click Confirm.
In the Create Rule panel, click Save.
You can perform the following operations on a throttling rule:
To change the cloud computer with which a throttling rule is associated, click Bind Cloud Computer in the Actions column of the throttling rule on the Configure Throttling page.
To modify the basic information of a throttling rule, click Edit in the Actions column of the throttling rule on the Configure Throttling page, and modify the rule name, upstream bandwidth, or downstream bandwidth based on your business requirements.
To delete a throttling rule, click Delete in the Actions column of the throttling rule on the Configure Throttling page. In the message that appears, click OK.
Attach a bandwidth plan to or detach a bandwidth plan from an office network
If a premium bandwidth plan is attached to an office network, cloud computers in the office network can access the Internet. After the premium bandwidth plan is detached from the office network, a basic bandwidth plan is automatically attached to the office network.
Attach a bandwidth plan to an office network
When you enable a premium bandwidth plan, you must select an office network. The plan is automatically attached to the selected office network.
If a premium bandwidth plan is in the Not Associated state, you must attach the plan to an office network to prevent wasting premium bandwidth resources.
A premium bandwidth plan can be attached to only one office network at a time.
For example, if a premium bandwidth plan is already attached to Office Network A but you want to attach the plan to Office Network B, you must first detach the plan from Office Network A.
On the Premium Bandwidth Plans page, find the plan that you want to manage.
In the Actions column, click Associate Office Network.
In the Associate Office Network dialog box, select an office network from the drop-down list.
Then, click Confirm.
If the state of the premium bandwidth plan changes from Updating to In Use, the plan is successfully attached to the office network.
Detach a bandwidth plan from an office network
Take note of the following items before you detach a premium bandwidth plan:
After detachment, a basic bandwidth plan will be automatically attached to the office network.
After detachment, the Internet access control setting will be automatically reset to the default value. This means that Internet access for cloud computers in the office network will be disabled, even if a basic bandwidth plan is still attached to the office network. If you require Internet access, you can set the Internet Access Control parameter to Allow all cloud computers to access the Internet in the Public Bandwidth section on the details page of the office network.
After detachment, you can attach the premium bandwidth plan to another office network.
If you have configured throttling rules for the premium bandwidth plan, the throttling rules will be automatically cleared. If you want to limit the peak bandwidth after you attach the premium bandwidth plan to another office network, configure new throttling rules.
On the Premium Bandwidth Plans page, find the plan that you want to manage.
Click Disassociate Office Network in the Actions column.
In the Confirm Office Network Disassociation message, click Confirm.
Renew a premium bandwidth plan
Subscription premium bandwidth plans have a validity period. We recommend that you renew your subscription premium bandwidth plan before it expires to avoid any negative impact on your business.
You can also enable auto-renewal for a premium bandwidth plan when or after you enable the plan.
On the Premium Bandwidth Plans page, find the plan that you want to manage.
Click Renew in the Actions column.
On the page that appears, specify the duration by which you want to renew the plan.

Confirm the fees and click Confirm Order.
Complete the payment as prompted.
Unsubscribe from a premium bandwidth plan
If you no longer require a subscription premium bandwidth plan, you can unsubscribe from it.
You can unsubscribe from only subscription premium bandwidth plans.
Once you unsubscribe from the plan, the plan will no longer charge fees.
If you unsubscribe from the premium bandwidth plan attached to your office network, cloud computers in the network will no longer have Internet access. To continue using the Internet, detach the current plan and attach a new one before unsubscribing from the original plan.
On the Premium Bandwidth Plans page, find the plan that you want to manage.
In the Actions column, click the ⋮ icon and select Unsubscribe.
You are navigated to the Unsubscribe page. On the Unsubscribe from resources that are being used tab, find the resource from which you want to unsubscribe and configure the unsubscription type.
Select the resource.

Delete a premium bandwidth plan
If you no longer require a pay-as-you-go premium bandwidth plan, we recommend that you delete it at the earliest opportunity to save on costs.
You can only delete pay-as-you-go premium bandwidth plans. These plans are metered by using the pay-by-bandwidth or pay-by-data-transfer method.
Before deleting the plan, make sure to detach it from its office network to avoid potential Internet access issues for cloud computers.
On the Premium Bandwidth Plans page, find the plan that you want to manage.
In the Actions column, click Delete.
In the message that appears, click OK.
