Setting up TV, Telephone and Internet
Many companies take a while to set these up, so once you know where you will be living, you might want to contact these companies in advance, so you are able to have connection from the day you move in.
Telia has the monopoly when it comes to phones/internet etc. The Swedish internet industry is HUGE with massive pipes which pump connection speeds at rates unheard of in the rest of Europe!
Telia
Bahnhoff Internet
Bredbandsbolaget
Com Hem
Glocalnet
All of the above sites are in Swedish, so you will need a native speaker with you to look around. The only portal we were able to find in English is:
Teliasonera
As with most companies, like in the UK, you can select "packages" eg, internet, telephone and cable etc. Foreign TV shows are rarely dubbed (unless aimed specifically at children) so most of the Swedish channels will have English speaking tv/films on with Swedish subtitles.
Like anything, research your options first. Talk to neighbours/colleagues and other locals and see who they use etc. Ensure that regardless of who you go with, purchase a tv licence!
