bulldog is ipstream or datastream?

i am thinking of moving from my primetime 1000 bulldog adsl connection to
something cheaper when my 1 year is up. some isp do a reduce migration but
depending if it's ipstream or datastream. so what stream does bulldog use?

Aren't their legacy "Primetime" products LLU based? In which case they'll
be neither IPStream nor DataStream.

yes, they do LLU in Central London on some exchanges, outside of that
its BT via datastream. The faster speeds and higher uploads are on
LLU. Their checker offers you 2M on a BT line barely capable of 512k

Primetime was available on both LLU exchanges and DataStream ones.

Bulldog even (accidentally I presume) provisioned some of their PrimeTime
customers via IPStream instead of DataStream (though those exchanges would
have been DataStreamed)

Assuming you are not on an LLU exchange, you can try the BT test login - if
that works you are on IPStream, if not (likely) than DataStream.

However are you sure you want to move?

Since Bulldog dropped the PrimeTime range - most existing PrimeTime
customers seem to be getting 2MB all the time (i.e. Bulldog seem to have
stopped time of day/bandwidth capping)

so how do i test if i am getting 2MB or 1MB? what is the best way to test
the line speed?

http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp measures throughput.
Modem should tell you line speed (hover over icon, view status page
etc)
