95% of Swedes live in the tip. I doubt upper Sweden has good coverage being that it's a barren tundra.

You'd be wrong. Sweden has a program to essentially guarantee everyone access to broadband coverage, even (and especially) those who live in rural areas.

This map is from Finland in 2016, and shows only a few regions have >90% 100mbps availability.

To be fair, in the US (which is what we're comparing all of this to), broadband is defined as 25Mbps up/3Mbps down.

Ah - by that definition much of central London doesn't have broadband as I get 8 down 0.5 up and can't get much better. Still I find the 8 it basically fine. Maybe the vid is 720p rather than 1080p - whatever.
