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.

Is Upgrading to 5G Worth It?

A report by Ookla has shown that upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy S23 series for 5G is not worth it, as the phone only statistically outperformed its predecessor, the Galaxy S22. The report recommends upgrading for hardware upgrades like processor, storage, battery, and camera, but not for 5G. While 5G networks are getting faster, a 5% boost in 5G speeds is not a reason to upgrade.
