Tel Aviv - Post Report Question and Answers
Is high-speed home Internet access available? How long does it typically take to install it after arrival?
Yes, you can have it installed prior to your arrival. It's comparable to the US. - Jan 2022
Yes. We had it installed before we arrived. Haven't had any issues. - Apr 2021
Yes, internet is fast and reliable. I think ours has gone out once for about 5 minutes during the whole time we've been here. Ours was installed by the embassy before we arrived. - Oct 2019
Ours was installed before arrival. Speed was fine for normal use and streaming. - Nov 2018
40 mbps isn’t unusual for less than $20 a month. The Embassy assisted us in setting it up before we arrived, which was really helpful. - Aug 2017
Yes--can be ready when you walk in from the Embassy. Very nice service, though with only two providers sometimes people complain it's not as fast as they are used to. Otherwise this is a very wifi-friendly place with most restaurants and shops freely sharing their wifi passcodes. Ditto for the city as you can often get wifi from the city for free right on the beach. - Oct 2016
Yes and it works! Embassy has it ready the first day we stepped into our place. - Jul 2016
The two major companies are Bezeq and HOT. I've heard complaints about both. Our service often slows at peak usage periods. - Apr 2016
Yes, and the Embassy will set it up so it's ready when you arrive - truly brilliant! It's pretty cheap - like US$20 the first year and then US$30 a month after that. - Nov 2014
Yes. - Apr 2013
Yes. Internet speeds and reliability is improving. Overall its a shock to many to find out Israel is really a third world country on all levels. However internet service is fine, about $30 a month. - Aug 2010
Yes - again, not cheap but available and works well. You need high-speed service, usually from the cable company, and a separate service for an ISP. - Jul 2010
Yes, it's about US$20 a month. - Feb 2009
Of course available. My husband pays that bill. - Sep 2008
