What is different in the Southern District
By area the largest district in the country, running from the northern Negev down to Eilat. Cable does not reach everywhere, so an aerial or mobile broadband is the real alternative for many. That is precisely why an IP-based service changes the picture most here. Read more about the district on Wikipedia.
Regional broadcasts in the Southern District

Network coverage in the Southern District
In Beersheba, Ashdod, Ashkelon and the larger towns fixed broadband is available. In sparsely populated areas 4G and 5G are the norm, and that is enough for HD. Measure your connection in the evening before you count on 4K.
Start with the installation guides. It takes about five minutes.
What households in the Southern District actually replace
In the south the pay-TV offering is thinner than in the centre. Even so, many pay their operator a monthly price for a limited selection. Over the internet the selection does not depend on where you live.
Long distances mean that at worst you wait weeks for an engineer. When nothing has to be physically installed, that wait disappears entirely.
Tourism here is seasonal, and it shows in viewing. In winter there can be more people in the house than in summer. A short period suits that rhythm better than an annual contract.
Sport and viewing habits
Hapoel Beersheba has made this a football district, and the European nights draw a wide audience. International matches often start at hours that do not fit the working day, and then catch-up matters more than live viewing.
Households are small and far apart. One TV and a few mobile devices is the usual set-up, and the subscription travels with you.
