Hundreds of millions of people worldwide use Speedtest® to measure their internet connection. With over 18 million consumer-initiated tests taken daily and billions of data points gathered, Ookla® data paints a clear picture of the performance, quality, and availability of virtually every network in the world.

See how South Carolina launched the United States’ first free broadband map store with Ookla data
Policy makers in the United States need accurate, up-to-date broadband coverage maps to determine which communities are underserved and to better understand where local, state, and federal resources can provide the most impact on connectivity.
“Our data model requires a huge volume of reliable network performance information. Ookla delivered millions of accurately geo-tagged records with granular broadband performance data for the entire state of South Carolina. With this extraordinary data, we were able to bring our broadband maps to life, launch the SC Digital Drive map store, and work toward our goal of ensuring that every home has access to the Internet by 2025.”
