Before we dive in:
Our vision
Connecting Israel at record speed

At the beginning of 2021, Bezeq made a strategic decision to expand high-speed internet and fiber optics to cover all of Israel. An ambitious goal was set to reach one million households by the end of that year, which was already reached in November. After achieving this goal, Bezeq became the company that carried out the fastest deployment in the world

Community involvement

and narrowing the digital divide
