Not Finnish but have lots of Finnish friends. They pay for the speed of the service, not data transfer. [0] So for example you would pay to have a SIM card with 10MBit/s, 20MBit/s, 30MBit/s, etc.
They're always horrified to hear that we have data caps in Germany. At least here if you exceed your cap they just throttle you to 2G speeds. Interestingly, it seems that Finland mobile subscribers use more data than the average German fixed line subscriber. [1]
In Canada if you exceed the cap the carrier starts charging you exorbitant amounts of money per GB (on to of the already insane monthly cost of the plan).
