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

[sara fink]

I also have problems with bezeqint. I tried ftp from holland. Unencrypted
the speed was around 5k/s, encrypted less than 1k/s.

worse than that I tried tunneling via a good site (speed guaranteed) and
even this didn't work well.

Transfer from israel has excellent speed. Other than that, nothing. My
conclusion is that they started to apply QOS and other dirty tricks which I
noticed via wireshark.

I would suggest few things:
1. try to download the same rpm from other sites and compare. and then call
them and show them it's impossible to get such low speed from 4-5 different
sites.
2. In cases  where you can change ports, try to revert to high end ports.
3. Try https. Maybe you will get lucky. In my case it didn't help.
