In preparation for the peak in computer sales which coincides with the Jewish holidays and the new school year in Israel, Israeli ISPs and computer marketers are offering Israeli customers computer packages with Internet access plans included.

Plenty of advertising money has also poured into the marketing campaigns.

All the offers involve an ISP Net access commitment at a fixed price, rated in American dollars, for three years. The promotions may serve as a good deal for suppliers, since in the next few years the Internet market in Israel is expected to make a significant shift towards high-speed connections.

Among the most prominent offers, Internet Zahav and the Skal marketing chain offer British computer Elonex for an initial advance payment of US$200 and US$25 or US$33 a month for 36 months, depending on the computer package chosen.
