- Communication problems with Israeli sites.


o Communication problems with Israeli sites:   All  the  active  Israeli
  ISPs  are  connected  between  themselves  via  the  Israeli  Internet
  Exchange (IIX) which allows internal Israeli traffic  to  have  better
  performance  and  not using the international lines.  The universities
  are also connected to the IIX.
  Since last week our line to the IIX is not working properly.   We  are
  working  on  this  with  Bezeq,  but Bezeq does not cooperate much and
  drags us.  Hence, you might have severe problems connecting  to  sites
  located  inside  Isreal.   We are escalating this inside Bezeq, but no
  help yet.
