Adjustment for Public Network
Tencent Cloud provides two types of network configurations: exclusive public network and shared public network. The shared public network service is billed by bandwidth. You need to submit a ticket to apply for activating it. For more information about the billing methods, please see Billing of Shared Public Network. This document mainly describes the adjustment between exclusive public networks. For more information about the billing methods, please see Billing of Exclusive Public Network.
