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

[Maxim Veksler]

I'm also getting lousy traffic from Bezeqint at home.

I was sure it was on my side, so I haven't dug into it yet but now I see
it's a cross client issue.

I'm connected with hot->bezeqint. Download 2.5/ Upload 128 (or something in
this range), center of Tel Aviv (http://goo.gl/maps/pIbG).

I will test today a 10mb file download from: Akamai, cloudfront, s3 which
are all super fast and from a server in us-east and eu-west and will report
the results.

I really hope that this is a temporarily bug in bezeqint routing instead of
a new policy, I chose them exactly because they have a good reputation of
not doing this sort of stuff.


Maxim.
