Latest internet service providers ranking?

[swedam]

Hi all,
we've been here a while but recently (last two months) our ISP service via DNA Welho has become markedly worse. I called, we took away the flood protection, but it is still crapping out in the middle of work and in the middle of Netflix (horrors!). Seriously though, I can't use my wireless printer anymore and that is pretty essential.
The last few posts on this were a while back, so I hope to get some new info.
Do you know of a good service provider in the Helsinki area (downtown and thereabouts)? And how much does one pay for that good service?
Thanks and Happy surfing.

The biggest factor in your internet connection is the physical connection to your apartment. In Helsinki you usually have two choices when the building does not have dedicated data cabling. The first is is through cable television which you currently have. The other is through telephone cabling and these are owned by Elisa. I would just check the websites of Saunalahti and Sonera to see what offers they have for your address. Here's a page you can use to find other providers:

I also have major issues, but it is because of too many wireless channels and some of the neighbours are possibly using heavy range boosting devices making my own channels looking pretty weak. I had a to buy an additional access point and still the thing is not perfect. The best and easy way to check would be to plug directly in the router and see if you get better speeds (go to speedtest.net or something). There are also tools with which you can check the performance of your wireless channels (and your neighbours' too) and select the best channels. If you've already done all this then ignore and go ahead and switch ISPs!
