If you pay to bezeq it's more expensive. If you pay to xphone it's 69. Now I think they have a deal of 89 nis with free installation. <br></span></div><div style="text-align:left"><span dir="rtl">If the installation in the apartment is done and you don't need a visit from the bezeq technician then start directly with xphone. If you need the installation the visit of bezeq technician will cost you something (or just even opening something in the box outside the house). So in this case if you want to free technician/installation you should first start paying to bezeq for a month or 2 (depends on the deal) and then switch paying to xphone or other ISP that you prefer. Nasty game unfortunately. <br></span></div><div style="text-align:left" dir="rtl"><span dir="rtl">.</span><br></div><span dir="rtl"></span></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jul 18, 2017 at 5:00 PM, Geoff Shang <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:geoff@quitelikely.com" target="_blank">geoff@quitelikely.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>
<br>
Thanks everyone for your recommendations, both on list and off. I really appreciate them all.<br>
<br>
Firstly, it seems Unlimited is not available in our area, so that's no longer a consideration.<br>
<br>
We contacted Bezeq today about their offerings, and they mentioned a new business-class service called Secure Internet (in Hebrew). It's 50/5 mbps as opposed to the regular 100/3 mbps, and is a good deal more expensive, but comes with certain service guarantees (this is a business service).<br>
<br>
You can use it with any ISP, but they recommend Bezeqint, Tripple C or Xphone.<br>
<br>
I recall hearing good things about Tripple C, possibly from here, and I also got a recommendation about them just now from a lister.<br>
<br>
We are tempted to go with this Secure Internet and Tripple C. I haven't been able to find anything about this secure thing online, and would be interested to know if anyone here knows anything about the service, particularly its technical aspects (you can't ask sales reps this sort of thing).<br>
<br>
Apparently this service uses different equipment (they said something about Checkpoint).<br>
<br>
Also thanks for the info re third-party modems/routers. I wasn't aware this was an option (I've had no luck finding VDSL modems in the past), so will definitely look at this.<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
