Actcom gives static IP on their ADSL connection for free - I know it's not
new, but I got this from a sales person : I think it means that they
gurantee it.
Also - their sales personal say that I can't connect a LAN to a regular
ADSL account ( I know that they can't detect it - but that is their
policy ), but I have to get a specially priced ADSL account that costs

In the company I work for, we switched from Netvision (completed the
switch just yesterday) to Bezeq Int. due to very bad support and very bad
service (in this order), but I have to say that I'm not impressed with
Bezeq Int.'s service as being superior. We did not, as yet, required
"buisness" tech support, so I can not attest to that, but several calls to
their ADSL tech support (we also have an ADSL line to Bezeq Int.) left me
with not real appreciation for the quality of it. when we complained that
the connection was almost unusable (very high latency, and high packet
loss), *only then* we were told that Bezeq Int. is upgrading their
lines, and this is to be expected in the next couple of days.
We had been using ADSL guest account for both Barak and Actcom, on an
on and off basis. and I'm quite pleased with service quality.
At home I'm subscribed to Barak on ISDN, and their service is ok . quality
is good and I get about 5 to 10 disconnects a week, though tech support is
non-existant.
