Technion web site doesn't support ping not in and not out. So don't be surprised if you get the ???.
Try a ftp transfer from technion and see the speed. About the router, try the same thing without router. If the problem persists, you can tell them. For http://dotancohen.com/images/examples/bezeq.html I can't see anything written. It's 1k. I saw the images from the examples directory. I saw similar patterns with bezeqint in my neighborhood. Only a couple of the support people know what is mtr. From all my talks with support at 012, only 1 knew about mtr. You need to reach to higher levels of support. At 012 it's called network department. They support if you have few pc at home. Their level is higher than others who read from the page. My brother has windows, when he had problems with internet, they had the famous sentence "Something on your pc is blocking. go to restore. If that doesn't help, format the hd." And you know what else, they told him to use the microsoft built in firewall, nothing else. Here are some dns lists of all isp in israel http://www.petri.co.il/dns_ip_addresses_for_israeli_isps_he.htm try this also https://www.opendns.com/start On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 4:28 PM, Dotan Cohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > 2008/6/30 sara fink <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > My first advice is to lie about the OS.
