ISP recommendation in Israel - geek-friendly & IPv6

[Shay Gover]

I have Partner fiber.
Note that fiber ISP is area dependent. You'll have to check availability in
your area.
ISP with fiber (That I know of. There are also virtual ISPs): Bezeq,
Partner, Unlimited, Cellcom and Hot. Don't use Hot. Bad customer service.
No idea about static IP. As per Ministry of Communications regulations all
ISPs must offer IPv6.
With Partner I get ~70ms to western Europe.
