According to DNA’s Digital Lifestyles survey, more than half of Finns use streaming services such as Netflix. Using Netflix is most common among young people. With the new series Dance Brothers, Netflix now also offers Finnish content. Dance Brothers is available to watch on Netflix from today 10th May. Enjoying movies and series also requires a fast and low-latency internet connection.

According to DNA’s Digital Lifestyles survey*, more than half of Finns (53%) watch TV content through paid streaming services. Well over a third also say they use streaming apps like Netflix on tablets and smartphones (37%).

Using Netflix is most common among young age groups. More than half (55%) of all survey respondents say they use Netflix: as many as 85% of 16–24-year-olds and 79% of 25–34-year-olds do so.

Netflix is now launching its first local Finnish series, Dance Brothers. In the drama series, dancer brothers Roni and Sakari strive to make a living from dance, and they start their own club to finance their dream.

“DNA is our long-term partner, and together we bring our excellent products together for our customers to enjoy local and international content such as Dance Brothers, The Glory, and Beef,” says Patrick Danckwardt, Head of Business Development, Nordic Countries and Benelux at Netflix.

“We are pleased that Netflix has chosen DNA’s broadband connection as part of Finland’s most popular streaming service, and we can offer Finns the best possible viewing experience with our joint service,” says Mikko Saarentaus, Vice President, Entertainment Business at DNA.

DNA’s customers can purchase Netflix as a bundle subscription to DNA Netti and Netflix Family. This way, the customers can get both services at an affordable customer benefit price, easily with a single DNA invoice.

*The Digital Lifestyles survey, produced jointly by DNA and Nepa, was conducted using an online panel from 4 to 12 May 2022. Its aim is to find out how Finns use different digital services and changes in their use. One thousand Finns aged 16 to 74 years responded to the annual survey. The survey has been conducted since 2013. The research report can be downloaded here (in Finnish).

DNA Oyj:n huhti–kesäkuun 2026 liiketoimintakatsaus: Tasainen kehitys jatkui kireässä markkinatilanteessa16.7.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Tiedote

Kireään kilpailutilanteeseen nähden kuluvan vuoden toinen neljännes oli DNA:lle taloudellisesti varsin hyvä. Huhti–kesäkuussa liikevaihto pysyi liki samalla tasolla vuodentakaiseen ajanjaksoon verrattuna. Käyttökate kasvoi, erityisesti kun vertailussa huomioidaan DNA:n IoT-liiketoiminnan siirto toiseen Telenorin konserniyhtiöön kuluvan vuoden alussa. Kiinteiden laajakaistaliittymien ja matkaviestinverkon liittymien määrät kasvoivat, mutta niiden keskilaskutus hieman laski.

DNA Plc’s Business Review for April–June 2026: Steady development continued in a highly competitive market environment16.7.2026 08:30:00 EEST | Press release

Considering the intense competitive landscape, the second quarter of the current year was financially quite strong for DNA. During April–June, revenue remained nearly at the same level as in the corresponding period last year. EBITDA increased, particularly when taking into account the transfer of DNA’s IoT business to another Telenor Group company at the beginning of the year. The number of fixed broadband and mobile network subscriptions increased, while their average revenue per user declined slightly.

Etätyöt ja suoratoisto seuraavat myös mökille – näin korjaat takkuilevan mökkinetin14.7.2026 14:28:47 EEST | Tiedote

Mökkikausi on monelle myös etätyö-, suoratoisto- ja yhteydenpitokautta, jolloin toimivan nettiyhteyden merkitys korostuu. DNA:n tuoreen Digitaalinen elämä -tutkimuksen mukaan 21 % suomalaisista on kohdannut haasteita nettiyhteytensä kanssa. Vaikka ongelmia esiintyy yleisimmin kodin internetyhteyksissä, myös mökeillä yhteyden hitaus tai toimimattomuus aiheuttaa päänvaivaa osalle käyttäjistä. Moni ongelmista ratkeaa kuitenkin jo yksinkertaisilla toimenpiteillä, joista helpoin on modeemin uudelleenkäynnistys.

Remote work and streaming follow people also to the summer cottage – here’s how to fix a slow cottage internet connection14.7.2026 14:28:47 EEST | Press release

For many, the summer cottage season is also a season of remote work, streaming and staying connected with loved ones, which makes the importance of a functioning internet connection all the more pronounced. According to DNA’s latest Digital Life survey, 21% of Finns have encountered challenges with their internet connection. Although problems occur most commonly with home internet connections, slow or non-functioning connections at summer cottages also cause headaches for some users. However, many of these problems can be solved with simple measures, the easiest of which is restarting the modem.
