The number of users remained steady during December 2016 and the two bridges remained at capacity. The cost for Azure was unusually high, about double what it is normally. It seems to be caused by Azure splitting up its geographical regions and charging more for traffic from South America.

The Azure bill is about twice as high as usual. As you can see from the table below, it's attributable to a large amount of traffic going through "Zone 3", which is South America according to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/cdn/: Zone 1: $0.087/GB: North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa Zone 2: $0.138/GB: Asia Pacific (including Japan) Zone 3: $0.250/GB: South America Zone 4: $0.140/GB: Australia Zone 5: $0.170/GB: India The first time Zones 3 and 4 even appeared was just two months ago, in October of 2016. In October there was only 1 GB in Zone 3 and in November only 7 GB, so December's total of 4868 GB is a big shock. I searched but did not find a way to limit the zones that can be used to serve content on Azure.
Zone 1 2029 GB $ 176.51 Zone 2 116 GB $ 15.98 Zone 3 4868 GB $1217.06 Zone 4 12 GB $ 1.68 Zone 5 29 GB $ 4.87 -- total 7053 GB $1416.10
