I wonder why. Here in Finland internet connections tend to be laughably
cheap. For example I have a 10/2 Mbps connection that costs me 5 euros
per month.

(Ok, it's a bit more complicated than that, but it's still laughably cheap.
You see, there's an internet connection by default in all the flats of this
housing cooperative, which is part of the rent(*), and by default 1/1 Mbps, as
part of a deal with the ISP. Increasing it to 10/2 Mbps costs just 5 euros
per month more.)


(*) Well not "rent" per se. I think the closest term I can find with google
is "condominium payment" or "condo fee". But this same housing cooperative
has rental housing with the same deal.
