Internet recommendations

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I can't recommend XPhone, I tried them just after the "רפורמה הסיטונאית"
started, and my VPN connections  were dropping constantly, I retuned to BBL
after 2 days, and I'm with them ever since. over the past 5 years i think i
had one issue with them, it was seems they were hijacking DNS traffic, my
router is configured to use Google Public DNS servers (8.8.8.8) and so all
my machines in the LAN, but some direct query's were failing (or not
returning a consistent result), so eventually after having a long
conversation with the LEVEL1 and then LEVEL2 support I find out that they
enabled some "CyberWall" service on my account, so I requested to removed
it, and I have no problems ever since.

my 2c.
