my fellow sysadmins - Nezeq just called one of my client offering an<br>
upgrade from 5000/500 to NGN 10000/800. They say it only takes a sec as<br>
their router is compatible. Is it stable and safe by now? should one<br>
make the switch?<br>
<br>
Offlist replies appreciated, though I thought it may be of interested to</blockquote><div> <br>AFAIK, once you're "upgradable by a click" to NGN, technically you already "sit" on an NGN fiber, i.e. the other end of your DSL line is the "NGN box" which now provides DSL/POTS over Bezeq's IP network [this is based on official press releases].<br>
<br>Hence, you're already using NGN (did you notice a prolonged loss of DSL line a while back? that was the conversion) - it's merely a bandwidth upgrade. Assuming the SnR between you and the new box is OK, higher bandwidth should not be a problem. Can your ISP supply the demand, especially to traffic outside the borders of Israel? Good question.<br>
