Bezeq + Bezeq Ben Leumi @ 100Mb = 120 shekel/month  (+10shek/month router rental, but first 2 years free)

018 does not provide a modem/router, so you have to buy one.  bezeq has much better/faster service/support.  018 does drop/slow connection here and there, but not bad (so says my cousin - tech guy)

Why would you do that?
Bezeq Ben Leumi 40Mb should be ~30shek/month.  I would choose CCC/012 over 018 any day.

I was paying 140 for Bezeq and Bezek Ben Leumi together. Now paying 109. Am I missing something?

Anyone have suggestions of things to do with a 3 year old within driving distance of Jerusalem? It will be over Chanukah. We know about the Biblical zoo. Anything else?

Couldn't convince Bezeq to go down in price?  Bec I've heard many reports that when telling them you leaving they offer a discount.
