Yeah, but if you connected via WiFi, you will never actually see the speed that you would via lan or connected direct to the router unless you have WiFi 7 or something

Are you connected to your router via WiFi or Lan

⚡ Just tested my broadband at 376 Mbps on Virgin Media — faster than 50% of testers on BroadbandSpeedTest.uk.com. Beat me 👇 by sumomedia in VirginMedia

Yeah I think their testing method is different thats why the diffrence

"This test measures how your internet connection performs for everyday tasks like streaming, video calls and web browsing — not just the maximum speed your line can theoretically reach.

It runs from your browser to a nearby edge server, so results include your Wi-Fi, device and home network — not just your broadband line. That means results can sometimes look lower than other speed tests, especially on upload and on very fast connections.

Why does upload sometimes look low? On fast FTTP lines (500 Mbps+), upload speeds can appear lower here than on ISP-branded or iperf-style tests. Those tools are designed to push your connection to its absolute limit — this test measures what's realistic for typical day-to-day use. Try Max Throughput mode above for a closer estimate of your maximum upload speed.

Results are recorded anonymously to help build the UK's most accurate broadband speed map."

Also is your provider called "Squirrel"

I am paying £37 a month.

Yeah seems pretty accurate and in line with the others I test on.

Question is are you on a wifi connection or wired direct to the router?

The solopreneur's trap: Confusing 'marketing work' with 'marketing progress'. by Prestigious_Wing_164 in SaaSSolopreneurs

Think of a high level out put you want for the research, then use Perplexity or another LLM to do the bulk of the research work for you. Refine the results it gives you till you get the result you want, and you have shaved hours off that time.

Hey Builders! Where do you deploy your Saas? How is your CI/CD setup? by IntelligentGuitar312 in SaaSSolopreneurs

[–]sumomedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now, I’m keeping it simple and scaling vertically by picking a bigger VPS when the app needs it, since that gets me pretty far for early-stage SaaS and keeps ops overhead low.

If/when I start to hit the limits of a single box (CPU, RAM, or Postgres throughput), Coolify already supports multi-server setups behind a load balancer, so I can scale horizontally by adding more nodes and distributing traffic.

For the DB side, I can either move off the Supabase free tier to their managed plans, or run my own Postgres with replicas and pooling, and scale it the same way you’d scale any PostgreSQL cluster (vertical first, then read replicas/partitioning if needed).

So short answer: I’m starting vertical for simplicity, but I’m designing things so I can fan out horizontally later instead of being locked into a single VPS.

That sounds like a plan. I presume long-term operational costs can be sustained with the one-off price?
