Accenture to Acquire Ookla's Downdetector and Speedtest for $1.2B

Accenture is buying Ziff Davis's Connectivity division, which runs Downdetector and Speedtest (Ookla), for about $1.2 billion in cash. The move lets Ziff Davis focus on its core brands (IGN, Mashable, Everyday Health) while Accenture adds end-to-end network intelligence capabilities for AI-driven transformation. Downdetector and Speedtest will continue to operate under Ziff Davis during the transition, and the deal may take several months to finalize; Ookla’s growth in part came from 5G rollout and pandemic-era bandwidth demand.
