They explore the three major physical networks—Bezeq, IBC, and Partner—and explain why that final stretch of cable from the street to your living room is often the most difficult part of the journey. From the "Fiber Law" and Jerusalem stone challenges to the shift toward symmetric gigabit speeds with XGS-PON, this episode provides a practical roadmap for anyone trying to navigate the high-speed digital landscape.
