The "Handbook For Survival in Finland" authored by Annikki and Jacob Matthan in 1994 after 10 years of research of life in Finland created a "game" to live well in Finland with a nominal salary. The system helped beat yearly inflation every year. This Blog shows how the system is still valid even in 2008!

Enter "DNA Finland Oy" in the Google Search Engine and you will see these results in the red boxes relating to my Blog entries come on the FIRST Search Page. Both my major Blogs (Jacob's Blog and Oulu Best (Worst) Buy,are being spidered daily by all Major Search Engines and my Blog Entries are already in 3rd and 5th position. Soon they will be at the TOP! And, MY CAMPAIGN TO EXPOSE A DISHONEST COMPANY HAS NOT EVEN STARTED.):



And now on with the SAGA.

Those of you who have been following my nightmare encounter with DNA Finland Oy, be prepared for another series of important revelations given below.

In short: DNA Finland Oy CONTINUES to deceive and lie to their customer.

Those of you who read one of my previous inputs DNA Finland Oy Standards!!!!! would have thought that my nightmare had ended. I was getting Download Speeds of around 6000 kbps (6 Mbps). When I moved to a random IP DHCP connection, I was getting speeds in EXCESS of 8000 kbps, my contracted value. Indeed, I was a bit surprised, but quite happy that the issue had been resolved TILL YESTERDAY EVENING!

My internet connection packed up completely after 6 pm. As my computer would try to reconnect, as I have the PPPoE feature “Connect when required” turned on, a connection would be established, the process taking over a minute or two. Then, by the time I counted to 10, the connection would be dropped.

I tried the DHCP connection and, by golly, it connected. But by 8 pm, even that connection started showing the same problem. Now I was dead to the world! My work had come to a CRASHING HALT.

As the DNA Finland Oy Customer Service phone support closes at 8 pm, I was left without my internet connection for the night. I optimistically hoped that when I resumed my work at 4 am, this problem would have been sorted out.

As I have tons of work to catch up on, I was up at already 3:30 am. When I got to my computer at 4 am, I found there was no change in the situation - 10 seconds online followed by collapse!

I waited till 8 am and rang the number given to me as the Customer Service phone number, only to discover that DNA Finland Oy had changed its Customer Service Number. I was directed to ring another number. (I had received no notification of this change showing the attitude of the company - "Customer be damned!")

When I dialed the new number and explained the problem, I was asked to dial yet another number, the Technical Service Support Number.

I finally got through to a human being and informed the person on the phone about the problem. He kept asking me whether I was on some "Campaign". I could not understand his question. I told him that only "Campaign" I knew about was that DNA Finland Oy was playing games with me. When he said he would investigate and try to solve the problem, I challenged him that I would probably not hear from him again!!

However, by 11:30 am I had a call from a person by the name of Ville Hyttinen. He explained the issues to me.

I had been included in a “Campaign”. I had been given an ADSL connection which worked at 24 Mbps and worked of some protocol called ADSL 2.

Yesterday evening I had been taken OFF that "Campaign". My speed had been put back to 8 Mbps. I was back on some other ADSL protocol mode. My modem was, therefore, unable to use that connection mode. That was why as soon as the connection was obtained, it was dropped.

Things now fell into place in my mind. I double checked the facts with Ville Hyttinen. I thanked him by saying he was only the 2nd person in DNA Finland Oy who was truthful! (I was soon to discover otherwise!)

As I was away from home, I rushed back to get to work as things were piling up. As soon as I got home, I found the internet was indeed connected. So I did a Speedtest and found the speed to be 250 kbps instead of 8000 kbps!

My gmail accounts were reporting that “Your Internet connection is experiencing problems or your network administrator has blocked Gmail chat.” See the yellow text in picture below.



I realised I was at the start of another nightmarish stint.

I rang the lady who had visited me, Ms. Ulla Kentta, who must be some senior person in DNA Finland Oy. Luckily, as she had given me her direct number, I was not put on the never-ending hold!

The first thing I told her was that I was not angry with her per se, but that I was certainly very very angry.

I explained the situation and how DNA Finland Oy had deliberately lied to me and deceived me in saying that my problem had been fixed. All DNA Finland Oy had done was put me on some short term "Campaign" which was to increase my connection speed to 24 Mbps. As this also only worked at 25% efficiency, I had been getting a speed of 6 Mbps.

Yesterday, they had taken me off this “Campaign” (which had been to keep me quiet while the team went on the "earned" holiday to play Ping Pong) putting me back to my contracted value of 8 Mbps.

Hence I was back to the old story.

In addition, they had lied to me about my SMC Router being broken. My router is not meant for the second ADSL system which they were using.

To hide their incompetence, they were forcing me to buy another router to accommodate their "temporary" fix.

I asked Ms. Kentta whether she was proud to belong to an organisation which practiced fraud, deceived and lied to its customer? She refused to answer!

I asked Ms. Kentta to tell me whether I was the only customer who was having to go through this nightmare. She refused to answer!

She was unable to deny any of my accusations. She asked me whether I had received a reply about my reclamation - which obviously I had not, as they have not sent it to me!

When I told her it was Mr. Ville Hyyttinen who had told me the facts behind the present situation, she was unable to recognise the name.

Then she admitted that this gentleman was NOT a DNA Finland Oy employee.

That was obviously why Ville had told me the TRUTH!

Now let us come to the reclamation agreement the Customer Service offered me via their email:

subject Broadband at Kampitie 6 B

Dear Mr Matthan

With reference to your letter dated 27 June 2008.

We are sorry for the difficulties that you have endured with the broadband connection at Kampitie 6 B.

We have carried out some technical changes and adjustments and the connection seems to be working perfectly when tested earlier today.

We will credit you for the downtime of the connection and the slowdowns our standard compensation in max 120 EUR + 100 EUR for the travelling expenses related to filing a complaint.

You will be credited 220 EUR as a total compensation. In practice this means that we will not charge You your Kampitie 6 B -broadband monthly fee for the following 5 months.

From our point of view we see these actions as a full compensation for this particular case.

Yours sincerely

DNA Palvelut Oy
Asiakaspalvelu


Please read the BOLD TEXT - where it clearly says that there will be no “broadband monthly fee for the following 5 months”.

Now look at the scan of the bill I received just last Friday. the text in the Red Square relates to the particular connection where DNA Finland Oy are not supposed to charge me for the next 5 months.



DNA Finland Oy promise something in what they call is an agreement and the very next day they forget what they have offered, hoping the customer will overlook the detail and pay the bill, regardless!

And now finally about the DNA Website. The picture below shows the situation as of yesterday - 15th July 2008.



This company has been unable to fix its OWN Server to allow people to reach their web site. Even as I write this, the Firefox browser has been trying to connect the the server for the past 35 minutes. Unlike the Safari there is no time out feature in Firefox!

Is this the way an “honest company” does business.

In my 24 years in Finland I have never met such a dishonest company as DNA Finland Oy. Not only is it dishonest, but as mentioned earlier, it is inefficient and incompetent.

Are these the DNA STANDARDS that this company, DNA Finland Oy, is so proud about? Is it by these standards that I must accept the reclamation? Are their staff coming to work and being paid only commuting money? (I think even that would be TOO MUCH payment for most of the DNA Staff considering this case.)

I ask YET again - Is this the company, DNA Finland Oy, with whom you want to do Business?

Name Wanted! New Flea Market in Oulu

Quite a few Flea Markets in Oulu have closed down, moved or become not so attractive as they have changed their policy of what they are showing. Many have shifted over to more expensive antique furniture, trying to increase value turnover to meet their overhead costs.

The foreign community of Oulu and cost-conscious Oulu residents are prime users of Flea Markets, second only to my better half, who has picked up literally hundreds of great items from her visits to her favourite Flea Markets. Annikki is the ultimate Flea Market expert.

I have put up several web pages in the past on the Oulu Best Buy Blog telling people where the main Flea Markets are located, and I have visited all the Flea Markets regularly to see which ones have good offers.


Väliväiniö Ahmatie 16

Flea Market at Ahmatie 16 Flat 3.


After much soul searching I decided to start my own Flea Market, where the prices are really Flea Market prices. A small refreshment bar will also operate in the Flea Market.

I have finalised the name for the Flea Market or the daily opening times, nor have I employed anyone as yet. Presently, it operate between 09:00 am and 11:00 am on all weekdays, except Wednesday (07:45 am till 09:45 am). Timings for Saturdays and Sundays have not yet been finalised.

But you can get me out there by calling 041 706 7788.

I have a policy that if you purchase stuff more than € 30 I will organise free delivery to the front door of your building. I do not have staff to help you take it to your apartment and my age and back problem does not permit me to help with the really heavy stuff.

Last Sunday, as a launch, advertised in the Kaleva newspaper, I held a Courtyard Flea Market, supposed to open at 12 noon. People turned up already at 11:00 am. Because of the rush I was unable to move a lot of stuff from my godowns to the Flea Market. The weather held up till 17:00 hours when we had to close as a drizzle started.

This Sunday we will continue to have a Courtyard Flea Market, but we are not weather sensitive as we will have the indoor Flea Market open simultaneously. So no one will go away disappointed.

Welcome and hope you get some good buys!

Was that a FREAK One-Day Occasion?

UPDATE: I had posted in my earlier Blog entry the messages I got when trying to reach the pages of DNA Finland Oy, which was "Server not responding"!

Many of the calls I had were asking whether that was a Freak One-Day occasion, where for some reason, the lines were overloaded.

It is now 08:46 on Tuesday 8th July 2008. Given below is the page that I reached JUST 10 minutes ago TODAY.



This message is irrespective of the browser or operating system. I have received the same message in Firefox, Flock, Internet Explorer, Opera, and on both PCs and Macs.

Let me assure you that this a DNA Finland Oy related problem and not a browser or platform related problem.

I ask again - Would you trust your business with THIS COMPANY?

This is a company which tells lies to its customers, is incompetent, inefficient, and refuses to acknowledge the problems and costs it has made its customers suffer BECAUSE of its Business Ethics.

I ask again - Would you trust your business with THIS COMPANY?

Would you trust YOUR BUSINESS with this COMPANY?

I certainly have my personal grouses against several companies, and of late I have been focusing on my problems with DNA Finland Oy. (See a few earlier blog entries about this sitaution.)

I decided to visit the DNA Finland Oy web page to determine "who was who".

I did a Google Search and I got this result:



Great that when you search for DNA Finland Oy, you actually get the Default DNA Finland Oy web page as the top return on Google.

You will notice that in this first return there are six links to the various web pages of DNA Finland Oy.

Have you tried reaching DNA Finland Oy through any of these links?

Here are the six returns I got when trying to reach DNA Finland Oy!













Cannot read what it says - well here it is in a NUTSHELL:

Safari can't open this page

Safari could not open the page
.......URL.......... because the
server is not responding.


If an Internet Service Provider is unable to keep his own server, which is supposed to his web page up and running, can you imagine the nightmare their customers will go through.

What it shows besides incompetence is the lack of concern of DNA Finland Oy customers.

Would you trust YOUR CRITICAL BUSINESS with THIS COMPANY?

Dear Pekka,

I do not know whether you remember me from the old days.

I am sorry to say that after DNA Finland Oy has taken over Oulu Puhelin activities they are practising FRAUD.

I do not know whether you are in charge of Sales and Marketing of DNA Finland Oy and also Oulu Puhelin.

Kindly look at these two Blog entries. The situation is tragic and comic!

DNA Finland Oy continues to DEFRAUD customer

You will also find the same entries on my popular blog whttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifhich also lists the WORST BUYS!

I hope you are not responsible for these jokers!!

I do not intend to leave this matter as it is as it has caused me untold misery for the past 3 months and upset all my schedules - and because of total neglect, incompetence and inefficiency!

By the way, have you ever tried to enter any of the sites on your website such as clicking on the button "DNA-Konserni"? That is a joke as well!!!

My next step will be to start a Group on Facebook about DNA Finland Oy Service or rather "lack of it"!

(This letter will appear on my blog next week.)

Dear Sir,

Subject: DNA Finland Oy, Reclamation and compensation

It is with a great deal of sadness that I am forced to address this letter to you. It is because of the sheer desperation of the situation.

On my Oulu Best Buy Blog page (Enclosure 1: Sunday, April 06, 2008: Worst Internet Service Provider - DNA) I describe my nightmare of almost a month and a half (21st February to 30th March 2008) where I was denied access to my internet because of the total incompetence, inefficiency and neglect of your staff. I was told lies and given false promises, while being made to go from pillar to post to try to re-establish my internet connection.

Of course, your billing during the period did not stop!

On my blog page (Enclosure 2: Sunday, May 18, 2008: DNA Finland Oy continues to DEFRAUD customer:) I further describe a situation of DNA defrauding the customer which situation continues even till today.

I am being billed, month in and month out for an 8 MB/s ADSL connection, whereas almost during the entire period of 3 months I have been getting connection speeds in the order of 5 - 10% of the contracted value.

And, of course, your billing for the full rate continues.

I have visited your offices on the average every two days during the four and a half months spending my time to apprise your staff to the problems. Each time I carried documentary proof of the situation.

Till date no one has contacted me in response to my visits.

Not only have I visited your offices, I have informed my issue to the Marketing Manager of DNA, Mr. Pekka Väisänen, (Enclosure 3 dated 18th May 2008) and he has not even bothered to send a word in reply to my email.

Even as of today, my connection speeds, as can be seen from the internet blog entry (Enclosure 4: Speedtest.Net Results 213.139.166.91 : Sheet1 from 31.03.2008 to 26.06.2008) are nowhere near the contracted value and no effort is being made by your organisation to correct this totally unacceptable situation. (Results from two different test services are provided so that you can see that it is not just one source result that are being used.)

I am enclosing a bill for the wasted time and other incidentals as well as the reclamation for breaking the contract (between 21st February and 30th June 2008) that DNA is required to settle within 7 days, failing which I will proceed legally to obtain payment of these dues.

I have also addressed this matter to the Kuluttaja Riitalautakunta in Oulu and a copy of this letter and the enclosures are being sent to them for their further action.

When the Kuluttaja Riitalautakunta tried to reach your office by telephone, they were put on hold for over 15 minutes and unable to get through. It appears that your organisation is deliberately ensuring that no one is able to reach anyone to get any response, and at the same time no one bothers to answer the written demands for explanations.

I am addressing a copy of this to Mr. Tuomas Helander of your DNA front office in Oulu who has been involved with my visits and is fully aware of the situation as it stands today.

If you are unable to provide me with a suitable explanation and make the necessary compensation as demanded, and also make corrective action to the problem, there is no alternative but to file a criminal complaint with the Oulu Police for your defrauding me, your customer.

Yours faithfully,

Jacob Matthan

This was on the Friday morning. By Friday afternoon, just before Tuomas went on his annual holiday, he told me that the matter was being handled pronto.

The situation did not improve over the weekend and there was no improvement on the Monday.

So, on Tuesday I made my visit to the DNA Finland Oy Oulu Office and met a lady (who was aware of the case as it had obviously been discussed in their circles on Friday) who told me she would immediately alert the person concerned.

I had a call late on Tuesday from a DNA representative Ulla Kentta, who said she would like to come and see the situation and do some tests inside my home. She turned up with another lady who was from Realcom, the international telecommunications company.

They did some tests and said they had changed my routing and they found that using their equipment the speed was now over 6.71 Mbps for doewnload and 650 kpbs for upload.

However, my computer was still showing a connection speed of only just over 1000 kb/s.

There was also the unresolved issue that although I had been using the DHCP mode to connect to the internet for 8 long years, they now said the with my Fixed IP (which I have had all along) I was now going to have to use PPPoE. With the DHCP I was getting only a random assigned IP which was quite unacceptable to me and the work I do on the internet.

I explained the nightmarish scenario to Ulla Kentta that I had faced with DNA Finland Oy and gave the lady the entire correspondence, printouts of the blog pages, etc.

The next day two technicians turned up at the house, one from Realcom, the other from where I am not certain.

The first stand they took was I had never been on the internet using my Fixed IP and DHCP. It just so happens, sadly for these "EXPERTS", that I maintain a detailed log of all the connection details. When this "EXPERT" saw that his bluff was not going to work with me, he was forced to admit that I was getting a DHCP connection with my Fixed IP for all these years.

Now came the question of why my computer was not able to work at the speed.

The two of them played around a lot (over 2 hours). They changed the new ADSL modem provided by DNA Finland Oy for another of the same make. They tried to set up my SMC router, but failed miserably, then suggesting that my router was defective.

(Subsequent tests by me have shown that there is no problem with my SMC Router but it is unable to function with their PPPoE connection, whereas it will work with a DHCP Fixed IP Connection.)

Finally, they managed to get my connection up and running, without the router, however only using PPPoE mode and the speed was up to the what is expected, around at least 80% of the contracted value.

The test results from 30th March till 5th July 2008 can be seen at this link.

Speedtest.Net Results 213.139.166.91 : Sheet1 from 31.03.2008 to 05.07.2008)

They went away and before the day was over I received this email from their faceless "Customer Service Department"

subject Re: Broadband at Kampitie 6 B

Dear Sirs,

I thank you for your communication and state that the connection is working but not yet according to the contract or as specified in our agreement.

Unfortunately, as claimed by you, this is not a standard case.

To leave a customer for almost 4 and half months without any attention - is that what you think merits a STANDARD COMPENSATION?

You will be the laughing stock of the world, and especially FINLAND, when this STANDARD CLAIM BY YOU hits the internet.

This is a case of incompetence, negligence, indifference, supply of defective equipment, lying to the customer, and causing severe loss of one's face in the international world, as well as much much more.

Further the DHCP connection is still not working. I am still able to use only PPOE and my other computers are not able to function.

I may have to invest in additional equipment and yet do not know whether these will function as your representatives were unable to get the DHCP and the router working, claiming the the router, which has worked without any problem earlier, was defective.

I am having the router tested. If it is not found defective you will be in for additional claims for providing misleading information and additional costs will incur.

I suggest you rethink your compensation package in the light of my bill to you which is due on 3rd June 2008.

Do you work for free?

Failing which, not only will legal action for recovery be initiated but I intend to make the further saga public, (especially the STANDARD claim) on a much broader scale than has already been done.

I think I need no better witness in the case than your own Mr. Tuomas Helander!

Yours faithfully

Jacob Matthan

The deadline for the bill has come and gone without payment. I will wait the one week grace period for the payment of the bill, send the reminder and after that deadline passes, it will go to the collection agency and then the legal battle will begin should they still fail to pay this bill.

What DNA Finland does not realise is that I will not give up without a fight to get justice.

I would only ask them to look back in history when AST was the sixth largest computer company in the world. They sold me dud equipment.

I took the battle to them on the internet.

The internet is a great leveler of people and corporations.

Within six months AST Finland was shut down.

But the battle did not stop there.

Within a year AST Worldwide was shut down as I had assembled all the people worldwide who had been defrauded by AST. This forced them to quit the field altogether. AST sold out to Samsung. But Samsung soon realised that the AST Brand Name was tainted. They never relaunched that brand name again.

The sixth largest computer company in the world went into oblivion with a battle waged from here in Oulu. Those who want proof of this need only look for the documents on the internet!

I hit AST in every international newsgroup and it was not long before we had assembled the evidence for all in the computer world to see!

So DNA Finland Oy, be warned I will not give up till justice is done in this case.

DNA Finland Oy were so gracious to offer me Euro 100 as my travelling expenses and Euro 120 as compensation for my defective connection.

I have only one question to ask them publicly:

Are they paying the Realcom person who came to fix my connection just the tarvelling expenses?

I may not get justice in the Finnish Courts, as Finnish justice is flawed in favour of the corporate lobby.

However, I will get justice in the Public Forum, and DNA Finland Oy better watch out as I start to organise the forces to see that their losses will far exceed the paltry sum that I have charged them to force them to correct my nightmare of FOUR and a HALF MONTHS!!!!
