Internet recommendations

[sara fink]

Geoff,

I am connected to xphone and bought myself a modem-router with vectoring
support for faster speeds. I bought from yad2 tp-link
TD-W9970 <http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-15_TD-W9970.html>

xphone are ok. I pay 69nis/month

just pay attention  to whom you pay the money, because there is a
difference between the payment even for the same deal. If you pay to bezeq
it's more expensive. If you pay to xphone it's 69.  Now I think they have a
deal of 89 nis with free installation.
If the installation in the apartment is done and you don't need a visit
from the bezeq technician then start directly with xphone. If you need the
installation the visit of bezeq technician will cost you something (or just
even opening something in the box outside the house). So in this case if
you want to free technician/installation you should first start paying to
bezeq for a month or 2 (depends on the deal) and then switch paying to
xphone or other ISP that you prefer. Nasty game unfortunately.
