This is probably based on the new T3 release. https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/aws-announces-availability-of-t3-instances-for-amazon-ec2-2018-08-21 htt

  That would make sense. But T3 are comparatively speaking, much slower than DO and Linode. When Lightsail were first released those benchmarks won't any good at all. The only reason for using Lightsail is you want all those Amazon Services, which your LightSail can hook up free of transfer using Private Network.

    Wait, so you can read from an S3 bucket for free using LightSail but egress at LightSail prices?

      Yes, but I think lightsail egress is more expensive than s3 egress. On my phone, but isn’t lightsail 9 cents a GB to S3 being 8 cents? Think regular ec2 is 8 cents as well, or is that 12?

        Lightsail includes a data transfer allowance, starting at 1TB, though importantly both data in and out is counted against the allowance. In the vast majority of cases, the allowance is enough. If you do use all the allowance, data transfer out charges are $.09/GB in most regions, the same as EC2 and S3, at least for the first 10TB.
