Ookla

Network testing company behind Speedtest, turning billions of crowdsourced consumer speed tests into network-performance analytics for carriers.

Ookla is best known for Speedtest, the consumer app and website that measures download/upload speed and latency; the resulting billions of test results are aggregated into Speedtest Intelligence, sold to mobile and fixed-broadband operators, device makers and regulators as network-performance benchmarking and market analytics. Its RootMetrics division supplements crowdsourced data with dedicated drive-testing and in-building measurement for operators wanting controlled, methodical coverage testing rather than opportunistic consumer samples. Like Opensignal, its data comes from real end-user tests rather than network instrumentation, which makes it useful for comparative marketing claims and regulatory reporting but dependent on wherever consumers happen to run tests, rather than guaranteed geographic coverage.
