The physical line into your home (copper, cable, or fiber).
Usually provided by Bezeq or HOT, and in some areas by other fiber networks

The company that gives you actual internet service over that line
Examples: Bezeq International, Partner, Cellcom, HOTnet, 019, Internet Rimon, TCS Telecom, and others

Some providers sell packaged deals, but behind the scenes you are still paying for two separate services, and tech support may be split between them.

Typical recommendations for home use (your need may vary, this is just a general recommendation):

• Single / couple: 100–300 Mbps
• Family: 300–500 Mbps
• Heavy streaming / remote work / large uploads: 500 Mbps – 1 Gbps

For most people, anything above about 300 Mbps feels similar for regular use (browsing, Zoom, streaming). You may not need “1 Gigabyte” download speed just for WhatsApp, email, and Netflix.

When you compare offers (especially online):

• Intro price promotion: Many deals are cheap for 6–12 months, then increase
• Price after promotion: Always ask for the regular price starting month 7 or 13
• Commitment/exit: Check if there is a minimum term and how to cancel
• Router/modem: Ask if the router is rental or purchase, monthly cost, and what happens if you leave

Sibim - סיבים - Fiber:

• Fastest and usually most stable
• Good for big families, many devices, remote work, and heavy streaming.
• Not available yet in every building; depends on your exact address

Cable (HOT) Internet:

• Uses HOT’s cable TV network
• Fine for most standard homes and streaming
• Coverage is not universal in all neighborhoods

Bezeq DSL / VDSL:

• Uses the standard phone line if fiber/cable is not available
• Solid fallback in older buildings or peripheral areas

When you sign up, the provider will check your address and tell you which options (fiber/cable/DSL) exist in your building.

Many companies offer “triple” or bundle deals that can include:

• Internet infrastructure
• ISP service
• Israeli TV channels/streaming box
• Mobile lines

Bundles may be worth it if:

• You want Israeli TV channels
• You prefer one bill and one provider
• You are not planning to switch often once promotions end

Bundles may not be necessary if:

• You only need internet access
• You mainly watch content via Netflix, YouTube, etc. and do not need Israeli channel packages
