Getting a decent internet connection on a train can be challenging, and that's largely due to gaps between signal masts along the lines.
Wi-fi or mobile internet signals cutting out can be frustrating, but it is also a practical problem for people commuting to work.
This makes it a little surprising that the Transport ministry has cancelled a project aimed at spending 4.7 million euros this year on improving coverage across the network.
Helsingin Sanomat reports opposition politicians' criticism of the move, which came to light last week during a meeting of the supervisory board of VR, the state railways firm.
Now opposition members of parliament's communications committee, which supervises the ministry, have issued a press release criticising the move.
Each new trackside base station costs between 80,000 euros and 180,000 euros, and they are an essential element of improving connectivity. VR has invested in onboard wi-fi, but without the new base stations connections remain poor.
HS tried to reach Minister Lulu Ranne (Finns) for comment, but received no response at the time of publication.
Advance voting up
Tuesday was the last chance to vote in advance in the European elections, with election day itself on Sunday.
Savon Seudun Sanomat carries an STT report on the numbers, which says that more than a million people took the opportunity, representing 25.2 percent of those registered to vote in Finland.
That is up from 21.2 percent in the last European elections in 2019.

Eagle Owls lose
Finland's footballers are not preparing for Euro 2024, as they didn't qualify, but they do get some summer internationals with teams that did.
On Tuesday they lost 4-2 to Portugal in Lisbon, with Teemu Pukki scoring twice for the Finns. It was a dominant performance from Portugal, who are one of the favourites for the tournament this summer.
Nothing all that interesting there, but Ilta-Sanomat picked up comments from the FA Chair Ari Lahti on the possible new coach of the national team.
Markku Kanerva could be moved on from the post, although Lahti told broadcaster Yle that he was still in the race.
Both Finnish and foreign candidates have been in the running for the job, said Lahti, who added that he hoped to have things settled by the Midsummer holiday.
