Inf Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 :( :( If you can read Hebrew, take a look at this, if you dont, it's irrelevant for you anyway. :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hofshi Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 truly sad...time to consider other ISPs, both this and the fact that they throttle bittorent data are reasons enough to switch...too bad I'm still commited to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Meh. Like i said, I dont think this tactic will ever work with israeli users. They know when they are taken for a ride usualy ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofshi Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 lol. nah, they're not that bad, they're just trying to make a buck (or in this case, a Shekel). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Well, I can't read Hebrew, but are they saying that they'll charge you by the GB or something (eg. pay nothing if you download nothing, pay 20 x GB fee if you download 2GB) or are they just saying that they'll monitor your traffic?Maybe if you're used to having no data limits then you would be a bit pissed off, but the first idea sounds like a good one especially over here where so many of the broadband users use < 1 GB per month..

chaosblade Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Basically, Pay 49NIS per month for a 5mb\256kb connection, add another 80-100NIS for that for infreastructure cost, THEN add some price for every 1GB after the first TWO IN THAT MONTH.Absurd.

Inf Posted January 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Indeed, but some ppl DO say something like "wow, 5mbps for just 50nis" :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Okay then, so from what I understand it's what we've suffered from for quite a while now.Originally broadband was really expensive (cable) and hard to get, so I don't know much about that. But when I first got ADSL most ISPs were advertising "unlimited" plans which were far from it. To them it basically meant "you have a data limit but when you run over it, we won't charge you extra, we'll just slow you back to dialup speeds", which is definitely not unlimited but they got away with it and still do. (Before then I think there was a similar situation - small data limit and excess charges for running over it).Also, they still charge you a $100 "setup fee" to get ADSL here. :/ Stupid ISPs.

Switeck Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 I know a certain satellite ISP (DirecTv or something) in the US ties you into a 1-year contract. Some ISPs in the UK do the same thing and they're equally as bad.NTL caught hell for making the 1 GB/day rule...even though they only enforced it weakly and only if you exceed that amount 3 or more days in a row. That's 30 GB/month (for 30-day months)...far more than many other ISPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
