Hi,
The sad fact is that Israeli ISPs do not know how to collocate
equipment properly. The only world class collo in Israel is Med-1s
facility at Tirat Ha Karmel, it's a atomic proof bunker as I heard, some
4000-5000 square meters, some gigantic UPSs, generators, etc etc. The
equipment can be collocated there in "cages", as it's know for people who
collocated stuff in the US.
Of course, 24hr access and such.
