The closing of Telia landlines was announced a year ago when approx. 6000 subscribers remained nationwide.
Apparently there are still almost 100k consumer landline subscriptions on other carriers, though. The peak was in 1997 with 2.7M total subscribers. (Finland's population is 5.5M).
Most carriers haven't sold new subscriptions in years, and the prices continue increasing on existing plans as subscriptions dwindle - they are nowadays much more expensive than mobile plans (e.g. Elisa English pricing: https://elisa.fi/attachment/content/Elisa_Lankapuhelin_hinna...).
