We upgraded our FICIX peering connection to a 100G speed. The upgrade is part of our backbone network modernization project, in which all key connections are being upgraded to 100G. At the same time, we discontinued our AMS-IX connection because exchanging traffic through FICIX is significantly more cost-effective and of higher quality thanks to the new connections.
RIPE NCC (Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre) has published its latest report on the state of the internet in the Nordic countries (12/2022).

We have invested for years in countering denial-of-service attacks by, among other things, strengthening the expertise of our staff and investing in various systems, such as market-leading equipment from Arbor.

We are constantly striving to improve the quality of our network, as evidenced by our latest peering agreements. We are the first operator in Finland to establish peering agreements with all three major cloud service providers: Microsoft, Google and Amazon.

This significantly benefits customers using the cloud services of these three providers.
