Anyone using Wireguard in Azure with speed issues?

Curious if anyone is using Wireguard in Azure and if so, what size VM instance and what speeds are you seeing?

I've tried everything from 1cpu/1gb ram to 2cpu/8gb ram instance sizes in multiple datacenters and don't see speeds beyond 10mbps. Identical setup process in Digital ocean on 2cpu/2gb ram vm runs at speeds around 70mbps.

Really not sure what's going on and wondering if maybe it's not just me?

I use azure Ubuntu 1 Gb cpu with WireGuard (min config, 10$/month). Works great. I get almost the same speed as my wifi.

Thanks for your input - looks like speedtests to fast.com on any azure IP in the east or central datacenter end up routing through the fast.com server in Columbia. My speeds and latency are terrible when testing there, but a few other servers look better. Performance has been good, tests not withstanding.
