Best & Fastest Internet Providers in Finland (2025) 

Looking for the fastest and most reliable home internet in Finland in 2025? This guide compares the top ISPs (Valoo, Elisa, DNA, Telia and more), explains real-world speeds, typical monthly prices and who to pick depending on whether you need ultra-fast fiber, 5G or a budget plan.

Finland’s internet market in 2025 is a strong mix of national carriers with wide coverage (Elisa, DNA, Telia), specialist regional fibre builders and competitive challengers delivering blistering speeds to cities and towns. Whether you want the absolute fastest fixed-line fiber for heavy content creation and cloud backups, a low-latency link for competitive gaming, or a budget-friendly mobile/5G option, Finland’s market now has excellent options. Below I break down the best providers, typical speeds, and price expectations so you can choose the right plan for your home or small business.

Who leads on raw speed in 2025?

In independent speed testing for the first half of 2025, Valoo (an MPY/Valoo-operated fibre ISP) emerged as the fastest fixed broadband provider in Finland, with median download speeds well into the multiple-hundreds of Mbps range — significantly ahead of many legacy providers in real-world measurements. This makes Valoo a top choice if your priority is peak throughput for multi-user households, cloud work and 4K/8K streaming.

At the same time, Finland’s major operators are rapidly rolling out higher-capacity fibre and commercial 10 Gbps offers: Elisa announced consumer-access 10 Gbps residential options during its 2025 fibre expansion, signalling the incumbents’ move into next-generation home broadband. If you live in a building or area where Elisa’s latest rollout is available, that 10 Gbps-tier represents the upper limit of what homeowners can buy today.

The main players — what each is best at

Valoo — regional fibre and top test speeds

Why pick Valoo: independent testing (Speedtest/Ookla) placed Valoo at the top for median fixed-line performance in 1H-2025, making it the best choice for users who value absolute download/upload speeds and stable, symmetric performance for cloud work and streaming. Valoo’s network focus on specific regions allows it to deliver premium fibre performance where it’s deployed.

Best for: heavy uploads (content creators), simultaneous multi-device households, and anyone wanting the fastest real-world broadband available in their area.

Elisa — wide coverage, advanced fibre and 10 Gbps service

Why pick Elisa: Elisa combines broad coverage with aggressive technology upgrades (including consumer 10 Gbps fibre launches in 2025). Elisa also offers bundled services (TV/streaming, mobile + home internet discounts) that can be attractive if you want one vendor for everything. Their network investments make them a safe bet for long-term performance improvements.

Best for: users in larger urban areas where Elisa’s high-capacity fibre is deployed, and customers who want converged mobile + home package discounts.

DNA — competitive mobile/5G and expanding fibre

Why pick DNA: DNA’s portfolio is strong on mobile and fixed broadband. DNA has been actively promoting modern indoor fibre systems for apartment buildings and competitive mobile-broadband bundles. DNA also runs attractive promotional prices on mobile/5G and fixed packages from time to time. If you want a single supplier for fast mobile and home internet, DNA remains a leading contender.

Best for: households that value mobile/5G backup options and users looking for promotional introductory pricing.

Telia — stable nationwide fixed broadband

Why pick Telia: large nationwide presence, frequent partnerships with housing companies (some rental properties include Telia’s baseline broadband), and a broad menu of packages make Telia a reliable mainstream choice. Telia’s published price lists and corporate offers make it straightforward to compare add-ons and extra fees.

Best for: renters who want a provider commonly included in apartment buildings and customers who prefer big-brand reliability.

Typical speed tiers and what they mean

• 50–100 Mbps — perfectly fine for a 1–3 person household for HD streaming, web browsing and light gaming.

• 200–500 Mbps — ideal for families with multiple 4K streams, frequent large file transfers or cloud backups.

• 500 Mbps–1 Gbps — for power users: large home offices, frequent media uploads, and households juggling many devices.

• 1 Gbps+ (and up to 10 Gbps) — for creators, small studios, or multi-user smart homes where maximum headroom and low contention are required. Elisa’s 10 Gbps offering and Valoo’s median performance put these tiers within reach in some areas.

Price expectations in 2025 — realistic ranges

Prices vary by provider, contract length, promotional discounts and whether you choose pure fibre, fibre-to-the-building, or mobile/5G. Expect these ballpark monthly ranges in 2025:

• Budget / entry fibre or basic fixed ADSL/FTTB / included rent 50–100 Mbps: ~€20–€35/month. (Many rental agreements include basic broadband, and low-cost plans are often available for easy, no-frills use.)

• Mid-tier fibre 200–500 Mbps: ~€35–€50/month. This is the most common consumer sweet spot for families who stream and game.

• Premium 1 Gbps plans: ~€40–€65/month depending on provider promotions, installation fees and whether peak symmetric speeds are included.

• 5G mobile broadband and fixed wireless options: competitive pricing — promos can bring monthly fees into the €20–€40 range for capped or unlimited domestic data plans; longer-term list prices may be higher. DNA and Elisa regularly run promotional 5G offers.

Example concrete offer (illustrative): DNA has marketed limited-time mobile broadband offers around €21.95/month for a 5G mobile broadband plan (promotional period), with the price rising after the promotional term. Always check the provider’s page for the exact promotional end date and small print.

How to pick the right plan — quick checklist

1. Check local coverage first. Even the fastest ISP on paper needs local fibre/FTTH or strong 5G signal at your address. Use the provider’s coverage maps (or ask by address) to confirm availability.

2. Match speed to household usage. If you regularly upload large files, prioritize symmetric fibre or a provider known for high upload speeds. Valoo and new fibre rollouts have strong upload performance in tested areas.

3. Check contract length and early-exit fees. Promotional prices are common; know what the renewal price will be. Telia and others publish clear price lists and one-time fees.

4. Bundle vs. single product. Bundles can save money if you use mobile and home services together, but make sure the bundled speed is what you need. Elisa, DNA and Telia all offer bundles.

5. Ask about installation and equipment. Some fibre installs include a one-time activation fee; others waive it with a long enough contract. Confirm whether the router/modem is included and if you can use your own equipment.

Special notes on real-world speed and latency

Advertised headline speeds assume optimal network conditions. In the real world you will see variation depending on: network congestion during peak hours, Wi-Fi router capability, in-home wiring and distance from the local distribution point. For gaming and remote-work video calls, latency and jitter matter as much as raw download numbers — choose providers known for stable routing and, where possible, symmetric upload speeds.

Final recommendations (by user need)

• Absolute speed fanatic / content creator: Try to get Valoo where available — independent testing found it leads in median fixed broadband speeds in 1H-2025. If Elisa’s 10 Gbps is available in your building, that’s the ultimate option for extreme throughput.

• Balanced family with mobile + home needs: Elisa or DNA — both have mature fibre footprints and competitive bundles that make sense for combining mobile and fixed services. Check promotional periods to capture lower introductory pricing.

• Budget-conscious renter: Look for apartments with Telia or another provider included in rent; compare the incremental upgrade cost to full retail plans. Telia is often the default partner for housing companies.

• Small office / remote team: Prioritize symmetric fibre and business SLAs; DNA, Elisa and regional fibre suppliers offer business-grade connections and indoor fibre systems for apartment complexes and offices.
