Ookla captures more than 1,000 attributes per test. If you have given the app location access, it collects your precise GPS coordinates and links them to your home IP address, building a physical map of network locations tied to real households. 250 million consumer-initiated tests happen per month. That is 250 million data points per month from people who thought they were just checking their internet speed.&#34; 2026-03-07T19:39:27Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw04tprwz9l3zys3mrvqvu8wqnq5ktwtjydrlq6szg3sf5n3repdczyqv34880q45wfutfskp4avewadzse6lckemxxtmrz448rny9tze2jlgumtn Read below 👇 why you should start using LibreSpeed from now on for internet speed tests <br/><br/>&#34;Speedtest and Downdetector were just sold to Accenture for $1.2 billion.
