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].

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.

HTH,
