You know, DSL is a technology. 100 Mbit/s is a speed. They are not related.

Looking at Tele2 (http://www.tele2.se/bredband.html), you can get:
using DSL, at most 24 Mbit/s.
using cable modem, at most 250 Mbit/s.
using fiber (stadsnät), at most 100 Mbit/s.
useing wired network to your place, at most 100 Mbit/s.

It's all a question of where you live, what you want to pay, and how 
much you need.

And as usual, Tele2 is just one companty. I mentioned Bredbandsbolaget 
previously, and you can also use other ISPs, such as Telia. And I'm sure 
someone from Sweden could easily come up with a bunch of other ISPs as well.
