-the cheapest or rather the free ones are wifi hotspots http://www.hotspots.fi/ I can see jyväskylä also in the list.
-go to local library, there you can use computer with net for a specified time.
-buy a pre-paid net, bit costly but one can get them from local R-kioski e.g.

Prepaid sim card is exacltly what im looking for! Thank you. I'm interested in Saunalahti Prepaid card or Tele Finland Helppo. Which one is better for data? I dont need calls or messages as much as data. As i found, for example Tele Finland offers something like daily internet connection where ill pay 1.91€ per day but i cant find how much MB is included. And which can i buy at the airport in Helsinki?

Also bring a radio. The rally radio in Jyväskylä is very good with regular updates in English, and good reception in the forests.

Well tele finland is part of sonera and has atleast here in north highest coverage but in south you probably dont need to worry about it. Pick one what suits your needs.
And you dont find daily MB because there is no limit, you cant use p2p programs etc i assume but there is no limit when they dont clearly tell a limit and even when there is doing over limit causes your internet to slow down.
You can buy all of prepaid from r-kioski what is everywhere.

ps. i once were withouth permanent connection and used prepaid, i used p2p and downloaded gigs of stuff and nothing happened, that could be just me or common. 2 weeks of constant max speed download and they didnt say anything nor drop my speed.
