Suupohjan Seutuverkko was founded in 2005 as a result of EU-funded program Last Mile. During 2005-2007 Last Mile covered 45 % of the costs of building internet connections in the villages. Before this our region had many villages without any kind of internet connection. These small villages didn't even get the lowest adsl-connections. Our company was founded to enable the people as well as the companies in those villages to have the possibility to live and function in the place they want to. Without us in time they would have had to move to the downtown areas of bigger places. We have built several kilometres only to reach one single household. Our network is built with the Open Access principle which means that service providers have all equal opportunities in providing their services to fibre customers. Thereby customers are free to choose their service from the operator they prefer. FTTH connection can replace all existing data communication connections, such as the broadband, cable, satellite, digital TV and telephone connection.
