What is IPStream and DataStream?
These are two types of ADSL provided by ISPs. IPStream is where your Internet traffic is routed and controlled throughout the BTs system, whereas DataStream is where your traffic is routed via an ISPs ‘virtual path’. Research shows that you are more likely to obtain top speeds if you use an IPStream based product, but DataStream allows the ISP to offer different contention levels to suit the end-users requirements.
