Downdetector, Speedtest sold to IT service provider Accenture in $1.2B deal

Accenture has agreed to acquire Ookla — the company behind Speedtest, Downdetector, Ekahau, and RootMetrics — from Ziff Davis for $1.2 billion in cash. Accenture plans to integrate Ookla's network performance and monitoring data into its offerings for communications providers, hyperscalers, and government clients to optimize Wi-Fi and 5G networks. Additional use cases include AI infrastructure resilience, fraud prevention, and retail analytics. Ookla reported $230.7 million in revenue and $76.1 million net income in 2025, and processes 250 million consumer-initiated tests per month. Ziff Davis originally acquired Ookla in 2014 for just $15 million.
