The technology consulting company Accenture will take over.
In case anyone wants a new speed test.
Thank you!!
it’s built into Chrome. Just search speed test and it brings you to M-Lab.
Down votes for reality. Never change, Lemmy.
Prepare for enshittification while Accenture tries to find an RoI.
It seems like they’re mostly interested in Ookla’s commercial mobile network services, Ekahau and RootMetrics.
damn, both were kinda useful. doesn’t seem $1B worth tho lol
just wait until it gets shitty.
Welp, that was nice while it lasted. Its gonna become a shithole now as they try to get double digit growth on the “investment”
Downdetector is hot garbage anyway.
What’s the value here? Both these sites get traffic and now they gotta apply even more trackers in an attempt to sell data and turn a profit off the purchase? Make a downdetector account to see which sites are down? Install our app?
They purchased all of Ookla from Ziff Davis, which includes Ekahau and RootMetrics. They’re in this for the commercial side of it. Speedtest and Downdetector seem to be mostly PR sites from what I can tell. Like to get the Ookla name out there so people know who they are.
Sounds about right.
They purchased all of Ookla from Ziff Davis, which includes Ekahau and RootMetrics. They’re in this for the commercial side of it. Speedtest and Downdetector seem to be mostly “public relations” sites from what I can tell. Like to get the Ookla name out there and have a positive public image.
Ziff is in a selling mood it seems, he just sold off some game rights today .
Going back to GGG! I actually would call this good news!
