I havent tried them all but heres a little more useful info. Netvision and Rimon dont have stable connections. For regular surfing this makes no difference but for working overseas on a remote server i.e. Citrix, Yahoo Small Business, VOIP to VOIP conferencing this becomes a serious issue. Bezeq 014 is stable in this regard, but still VOIP to VOIP systems like networked offices use today is not enough. Mosesnet uses very stable servers, I think they are really contracting from 012, but it makes no difference. The best thing for people using business apps are business packages. Bezeq has one, I talk more 4 less has one as do others these are unbelievably stable and 1.5 is ample for most things. These run around 50 NIS (around 10 NIS more than the usual 1.5). On the other hand if you are using the net more for torrenting then a higher bandwidth is more important than a more stable steady connection.
For streaming I dont know as I havent bother testing it.
A side note on filters, most ISP (server) based filters are very bandwidth disrupting even though people usually get server based filters to combat this problem in the first place. A client based filter like Blue Coat K9 is more stable. But for those looking for server based filtering in spite of its drawbacks, Bezeq also has many filtering options, not just Rimon. You can many times get it included with the regular package, or a few NIS more, at that point Bezeq also becomes unstable though, in my experience so far.
