What LPOnet does

LPOnet Osk Anl is a customer-owned Finnish telecommunications cooperative founded in 1931 and headquartered in Loviisa, operating a regional fiber optic (FTTH/FTTB) network across Eastern Uusimaa that has been upgraded to XGS-PON technology, supporting symmetric speeds up to 10 Gbps. The core offering is LPO Fiber broadband, supplemented by cable TV with ~20 basic channels and premium/streaming packages, the F-Secure Total cybersecurity bundle, Sulo email and fixed-line-over-mobile services, and a new LPO Koti-PC managed laptop subscription. Through its subsidiary LPOnet DG (SMS Testing Oy, acquired October 2024), the company delivers B2B managed ICT including connectivity, equipment leasing, cybersecurity, cloud services, AI/automation training (notably Microsoft Copilot), and managed support, served by a named account management team in Porvoo and Tuusula.

LPOnet's go-to-market blends a cooperative membership model (€500 share, ~20% broadband discount, ~6,500 members, ~9,000+ owners) with physical customer service points, an online self-service portal (OmaLPOnet/Selfie), field installation crews, and community-driven fiber pre-order campaigns. Revenue is predominantly recurring subscription across fiber, TV, managed ICT, and hardware-as-a-service; combined turnover with SMS Testing reached approximately €7.8 million in 2025, with SMS Testing contributing ~€2.945 million at 20.3% year-on-year growth. Recent strategic activity includes the 2024 SMS Testing acquisition, 2025 mergers with Fiberandelslaget Liljenet and Vessönet (adding members and a new Porvoo–Vessö trunk line), and a December 2025 strategic partnership with Fiberandelslaget SanNet for fiber expansion in Porvoo-area villages during 2026-2028.

Broad incumbents

• Telia Finland: Major Finnish incumbent offering fixed broadband, mobile, and TV services nationally. Competes with LPOnet in the same Eastern Uusimaa region but with broader portfolios, stronger content partnerships, and a national 5G fixed wireless alternative.
• DNA Oyj: Finnish mobile and fixed broadband operator (now part of Elisa group) with national fiber and mobile coverage. Already an infrastructure partner to LPOnet (provides mobile network for Sulo fixed-line service), and a competitor for residential and business connectivity customers in Eastern Uusimaa.

Direct peers

MPY shares LPOnet's cooperative ownership heritage, Finnet federation membership, and regional fiber operator profile, with comparable scale and customer segments.
