Setting up home internet and Wi-Fi

If you are renting, internet is one of the first things to arrange, and it may take a week or more to get installed. HOW IT WORKS IN ISRAEL Often there are two parts: the infrastructure (the physical line, like Bezeq or a fiber provider) and the internet service provider (ISP). Some companies bundle both into one bill. STEPS • Check with your landlord or roommates, because the apartment may already have service. • Compare providers that serve your address, such as Bezeq, Partner, HOT, Cellcom, and others. • Choose a speed and a contract length. • Book an installation appointment. TIPS • Ask whether the contract has a long commitment. Twelve months is common. Ask for a shorter term if you are unsure. • If you share an apartment, put one person's name on the account and split the cost through Bit or a standing order. • Until it is installed, use your phone as a hotspot. WATCH OUT FOR Promotions often rise in price after the first months. Ask what the price will be after the promotion ends.
