I’m using Google Colab most of the time, but I found vast.ai to be a good alternative for when Colab GPU is too slow. It provides really cheap GPUs e.g. GTX 1080 Ti for $0.14 and hour. It just take a bit more effort to setup as you have to install git, clone the fastai course repo, and install or upgrade pip packages. You can create a startup script to automatically setup the machine at start. Machines have a max duration showing and so far I’ve not seen them go away.
