VM.Standard.A1.Flex in ap-mumbai-1 stuck at ~50 Mbps public internet despite 4 Gbps advertised

Hello,
I am seeing an apparent public internet throughput cap on my OCI compute instance and would appreciate help confirming whether this is an OCI-side limit or issue.
Instance details

  • Region: ap-mumbai-1
  • Shape: VM.Standard.A1.Flex
  • Shape config: 4 OCPUs, 24 GB RAM
  • Advertised networking in OCI: 4.0 Gbps
  • State: RUNNING
    Observed behavior
  • Public internet throughput from inside the VM is consistently around 44-50 Mbps
  • speedtest --simple on the VM reports:
    • Ping: 2.216 ms
    • Download: 50.12 Mbit/s
    • Upload: 50.71 Mbit/s
  • fast.com in a remote browser initially bursts higher and then settles near 50 Mbps
  • Multiple parallel downloads also remain around ~45-50 Mbps aggregate

Howdy, Stranger!
