I am on 2.5Mbps, HOT, Bezeqint (non-NGN of course). Tested started @
2010-10-14 01:13:43.

Top speed during download was 315KB/s. Speed went as low as 80KBs but that
was for a slight moment. In addition, I'm not the only user of the link, so
that might have caused some slowing. Overall it's a reasonable speed, I
think.
