Awful Bandwidth from Most Sites on Bezeqint - What can I do about it?

[Etzion Bar-Noy]

Hi.
I am not quite happy myself, lately, either.
Browsing and downloading seems slow, as well.

wget

On a 12Mb/s connection. NTOP reported usage of 1.3-1.4Mb/s and that was the
only major use of the line at this time.

mirror.isoc.org.il resides on Israeli IP, as well as off.co.il (Netvision, I
think), so their speeds are excellent.

This is about midnight now. I can (and will) try later too.
