I agree. > I am planning to upgrade my Internet connection from ISDN to ADSL. > I noticed that Bezeq now provides three options for ADSL modem ownership: > - Bezeq-owned modem > - Purchase modem from Bezeq > - Purchase my own ADSL modem (as long as it was type-approved). > As far as I know you have another option: have bezeqint as your ISP and get the modem as a gift for choosing them. Yet I do not know if that selling promotion is not over, or anything else about the quality of their ADSL services or their ADSL modem. However I do believe you will be able to ask for a modem with an Ethernet connection and not with a USB one. I wonder whether running Linux is the reason that another member of this list lately received an Ethernet type of ADSL modem from them. Actually I believe that 012 has now some sort of a selling promotion for having Internet by Tevel cables which involves a discount on the connectivity payment and a free modem. but you aren't in Tevel area, do you? Maybe it is not limited just to Tevel? Speaking of ADSL modems, does anyone heard lately about a good internal (probably PCI) one that is supported by Linux? > What is the experience of the list members with those options, and which > of them is recommended?
