(There may be rules against posting in English in this group, if so I
am very sorry for the inconvenience.)

I know this probably is not the correct newsgroup to ask this
question. But my finnish is very bad and since I found the word PC in
the name of this newsgroup I thought maybe somebody here could help me
(or tell me where I can post the question to get an answer).

I'm moving to Helsinki in august, and I would therefore like to find
some information about different internet providers.

I would like to get a quite quick connection, definately a lot quicker
than ISDN. Which companies offer such connections? Are they available
where I'll live? What are the prices? Which companies can be trusted?

All help will be greatly appreciated.

ADSL: Sonera (www.sonera.fi) and Elisa (www.elisa.fi) are biggest. Also 
Jippii (www.jippii.fi) is big but may have some trouble (due econimical 
issues). 50 euros per month, entrance fee 150 euros but probably there 
will be special/campaign price 50 euros as competition is fierce.

HomePNA: all above companies offer HomePNA-connections but they are for 
blocks of flats, no single connections. If your block of flats has it 
then it is OK. In practice same price as ADSL.

Cable: Probably the best choice if your house has cable TV. 
(www.htv.fi/welho). Same price again.

Smaller players are focusing on business market. 
WiFi/wireless is not yet without problems.

Hope this helps
