I'm sorry for the off topic post, but I thought that the people who could answer this would likely inhabit this list.
Are high performance, low latency Internet connections available in Israel? I keep seeing "experts" on other mailing lists who think that a cable modem or aDSL connection is high performance. What I would really like to find is a consultant who understands the difference between a 300 NIS router, a 500 NIS router with open source firmware, and a high performance router. The difference between a real syncrhonous data link, and an aDSL or cable modem one, and how to get and configure one and so on. I keep seeing the same question over and over again, as I am on several lists frequented by new or prospective olim and experts that say you can run POTS quality VoIP, streaming video and proprietary VPNs to the U.S. on an aDSL line with a cheap router. Many of these experts don't even know that an aDSL connection uses a tunnel (aka VPN) to the ISP and so on.......... The olim complain that they are going to have to quit their U.S. jobs because they can't get their work done, speak on the phone, etc. Thanks, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
