Azure Monitor pricing: What you pay vs. what you get

Azure Monitor doesn't have a price. It has a bill and those are very different. There's no plan tier to pick, monthly set fee, or simple number to sanity-check against your budget.

How to Fix Intermittent Internet Issues: Is It Your Network or Your ISP?

Your Internet circuit is up. The firewall shows the WAN link as connected, your ISP's status page is green, and a speed test comes back at full provisioned bandwidth. Meanwhile, Teams calls at one branch break up for ten minutes every afternoon, and every user at that site sees Salesforce slow to a crawl at the same moment. Then everything recovers before anyone can capture it.
