Another personal war story: I connected to Hot for phone internet and TV services.
Had some service disruptions on and off for about a year. They sent me all kind of technicians - all the way up to the Sayeret Menuim... It seems the apartment upstairs (rented by students) had a bad RF cable for an analogue TV in the bedroom, that injected a lot of noise to the whole building!! It took me forever to convince the tech reps over the phone that it is a problem in the main switch box, but after persisting - it is finally fixed. Most customers are unable to launch such a campaign, but it doesn't mean a particular company is all bad. The problems are localized - no matter which company you are subscribed to. The main problem with all of them is their call centers - it is nearly impossible to get real service from them... Just my bit long 2 cents on the issue. .:====================================================:.
