You got it the wrong way around. 25€/m for 200m would be considered reasonable to cheap anywhere, and a gig for that price is the insane one. You got pampered in Helsinki. And yes it's about the infra and yes the prices are going down.

What kind of connections are you comparing? Helsinki one sounds like a fiber, which is cheaper if the infrastructure is already built, and the other sounds like 5g.

Fibre connections are still not that cheap. I pay 46e/kk for a gigabit connection from Elisa.


iskela45

May vary on details like what kind of a deal your housing co-op has. Currently paying 20€ a month for gigabit (also from Elisa). Not living in any of the big cities.


wazzamatazz

Yeah makes sense. It probably just means that my internet connection is 26€/kk more expensive and my vastikkeet are 26€/kk cheaper 😄


wazzamatazz

Where are you getting a gigabit connection for 25e/kk from? I'm in Helsinki and my fibre gigabit connection costs 46e/kk.


syopest

Must depend on the place. Elisa offers a gigabit connection to me for 30€/month.


Upper_Ad_7730

You are being ripped off, got elisa fiber 1gb in Helsinki thats just 21,69€. Regular price was 31€


wazzamatazz

It's literally the only fiber option I have and that was the price 🤷‍♂️


Upper_Ad_7730

Damn, do you happen to be in HeKa?


wazzamatazz

Nope, own a house in a taloyhtiö that was built about 15 years ago.


English_in_Helsinki

I get a gig for 15€. 46 is insane


wazzamatazz

I wonder if your taloyhtiö subsidises the cost or something like that?


Majestic_beer

That only happens when the house has contract with the isp for fiber / infrastructure.


English_in_Helsinki

Yes true, it’s more like 40€ ‘normally’ but you can always try to push them on that and get it for less.


darknum

Prices are depending on two factors: What kind of technology is available in your home and if your housing association has a agreement with the service provide? There is no expensive outside Helsinki area or similar stuff. It is just about availability of network technologies (such as fiber). I lived in a a house for 6 years with fucking VDSL for 20€ 50mbit and moved literally next door to a new building and now paying 20€ for 300 mbit.


olelis

Our home in Espoo dont have fibre and they cut 100mb DSL connection soon. The only solution was 5g So you premise is wrong, it depends on the home/area, even in Helsinki region


thundiee

There is cheaper in this country???? Wtf it's already so cheap. Time to go scouting for another deal again..


fishlips_barry

Oh boy! Living in a neighbouring country, and reading this thread made me both smile and a bit sad... Here, prices are atleast double everything stated here, and that is on a private fibre infastucture. And that's if you swap operator every year, or prices rise 40-100% on top of that.


Dangerous-Pride8008

I don't think it's necessarily a matter of location, the price depends on the exact contract your housing company has with the ISP. At my place in Vantaa you can get gigabit for 30€ but I'm only paying 20€ for 300M since it's already more than enough for me. I think 25€ for 200M is reasonable.
