All went well, with 1 "tiny" problem: lets look at a snip of the
traceroute from my house to bluehost:

4  ge9-0.gw1.hfa.nv.net.il (212.143.8.209)  38.486 ms
ge0-1.gw2.hfa.nv.net.il (212.143.8.212)  39.195 ms
ge9-0.gw1.hfa.nv.net.il (212.143.8.209)  40.675 ms

pos1-0.brdr1.nyc.nv.net.il (212.143.12.13)  247.734 ms
pos5-4.brdr1.nyc.nv.net.il (212.143.12.35)  255.950 ms
 6  Gigabitethernet4-0.GW12.NYC4.ALTER.NET (157.130.25.37)  450.531 ms
 435.170 ms  437.170 ms

hmm, 435 ms at Gigabitethernet4-0.GW12.NYC4.ALTER.NET, thats a no-no
for video streaming, whether it's in Flash video using HTTP or using
Macromedia streaming server.

However, this will be the standard RTT for international links whose routes go
Israel->Europe->US. This is not something to do with business package, but
with what link you are routed through.
I could disconnect from Netivision within a minute, but my problem is
that lots of my readers and viewers are coming from Israel and they
are connected to Netvision, which means that they will have a problem
to watch any video clip without a severe buffering problems.
First of all, there are other ISPs in Israel, to which Netvision is connected via multiple gigabit links, so they will have no problem watching your video. NV are connected to the big 2 (SmileComm - aka 012+I Zahav - and BezeqINT) via multiple gigabit links.


As for video, the most important factor is jitter, rather than RTT. I am not saying that a link with 20ms delay vs. a link with 1500ms delay are the same, however, the universities run video conferences with multiple users in different countries, both
europe and US, and it works fine.

The problem with ISPs usually is the fact they overbook their international connectivity, which means that their links are at 80-90% most of the time, which creates peaks
of 100%, and this creates high jitter on the link.
