Home internet in Finland

Verified 19 September 20261 min read

Ask one question before you order: Onko taloyhtiössä laajakaista? Does the building have broadband? In most apartment buildings the answer is yes and the price is close to zero.

Prices checked 19 September 2026. Ask your landlord or housing company first: building broadband is often included in the rent or costs only a few euros.

How to choose

  1. Ask the landlord or the notice board about the building's shared broadband. If it exists, activate it and stop here.
  2. No shared contract? Check which operators have fibre or cable to the building; the operators' sites tell you by address.
  3. Short stay or no fibre? A 5G router from any operator, no installation, cancel monthly.

Frequently asked questions

Is internet included in Finnish rent?

Often, in apartment buildings. The housing company buys a shared broadband contract and either includes it in the rent and maintenance charge or offers it for a few euros a month. Ask before you order anything.

How fast is Finnish home internet?

Fibre and cable connections of 100 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s are standard in cities. 5G routers give a few hundred megabits where fibre is not available.
