<div dir="ltr">Unfortunatly I hear to many stories of how HOT is bad.<br>My girl friend has HOT for TV Phone and Internet, the phone is unbearable during half hour of conversation we had two disconnections.<br>She does not use the internet at home so much but also on the internet she has disconnections.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Another personal war story:<br><br>I connected to Hot for phone internet and TV services.<br><br>Had some service disruptions on and off for about a year.<br><br>They sent me all kind of technicians - all the way up to the Sayeret Menuim...<br>
<br>It seems the apartment upstairs (rented by students) had a bad RF cable for an analogue TV in the bedroom, that injected a lot of noise to the whole building!!<br><br>It took me forever to convince the tech reps over the phone that it is a problem in the main switch box, but after persisting - it is finally fixed.<br>
<br>Most customers are unable to launch such a campaign, but it doesn't mean a particular company is all bad. The problems are localized - no matter which company you are subscribed to.<br><br>The main problem with all of them is their call centers - it is nearly impossible to get real service from them...<br>
<br>Just my bit long 2 cents on the issue. <br><br>.:====================================================:.<br><br>Amichai Rotman<br><br>UIN#: 6401746<br>Registered Linux User#: 201192 [<a href="http://counter.li.org/" target="_blank">http://counter.li.org/</a>]<br>

they are all worthless, it mostly depends on what exactly you need from the at<br>

Is there a way to combine several "usless at some times and not others" connections to get a better service reliabilty and still not have to<br>
go with SIFRANET (fiber optic connection) and BYNET as an ISP?<br>
<br>
I think it would need a combination of automatic routing based on performance,<br>
so that the connection with the best performance to a site was used. Most of<br>
the time this could be static, but it would have to be dynamic enough to<br>
handle connection outages and slowdowns.<br>
<br>
It might even be enough to monitor a connection and if it fails, reroute<br>
everything to the other connection and reset it when it came back, but the<br>
purist in me prefers something dynamic.<br>
<br>
It's not even a question of the best performance I can get at any given<br>
momement from the proper routing, it's more just keeping things going<br>
when a failure occurs. They used to be short, now they are several hours<br>
or more.<div><br>
