We're just trying Netvision and all seems fine except FtP downloading is

what it should be.
It's not due to anything Netvision does. I get full upload speed and
full download speed. I have a 5m down/256k up connection from HOT's
"business office".
Of course 256k up is fairly easy to saturate. Downloads vary wildly
from site to site.
I have even gotten combined downloads of over 400k bytes per second on
bit torrent, but usually have it limited to 300k down / 5k up so that
I don't get lynched by the rest of my family who wants to use the
Internet.
We've not tried Barak yet (even though Netvision and Barak have merged,
they seem to still use different infrastructure).
I have not seen that at all. Sometimes I am connected via a Netvision
IP and sometimes via a Barak one. I had a problem with my VoIP box
dropping connection, and restarted my pptp session often for a while.
It turned out to be a bug in the Linux system I use for a router,
and nothing Netvision did.
The first day or so after the merger they combined DNS servers, but I
actually don't use them.
Are there any other ISPs? Our Bezeq contract is up on Thursday so this is
a bit urgent.
BYNET. I understand they have a "home" division www.qos.co.il.
Orange and Cell-Com both have good performance for their cellular USB
modems. Orange is cheaper but capped at 5g per month.
