    if its ipstream then it probably would be around the same speed.

    they 'should' stay simular however since your connection can be effected by things such as ISP congestion/contention you could see a increase or decrease depending on who you have moved too
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    With IPstream switching ISP is just a keyboard job to alter the routing within the BT network. Assuming you don't change your router then it is same kit your end, same line, same kit at the exchange, so your synch will not change at all as they don't touch your profile either.

    ISP contention is a different matter entirely so your download could be much faster, much slower, or the same as already mentioned.
