First ADSL providers started in 2000. A typical ADSL connection in Finland is 512/512 kbit/s or 1024/512 kbit/s and it costs €20 to €30 per month.
Finnish ADSL providers include (but not limited to):
- Sonera
- Elisa Oyj
- Saunalahti
- Finnet
In the city of Oulu, Oulun Puhelin Plc (OPOY) has for a longer time offered full-rate ADSL (8/1 Mbit/s) and VDSL (10/10 Mbit/s, actually Cisco Long Reach Ethernet).
With aggressive marketing, Saunalahti brought full-rate ADSL (8/1 Mbit/s) to the capital area and Turku on 2004-08-03. Saunalahti announced ADSL2 services (12 Mbit/s) on 2004-10-21, available in the capital area and Turku. Saunalahti also announced the first ever ADSL2+ services (24 Mbit/s) in Nordic countries on 2004-11-15, first available only in the Tampere region.
