ADSLGuide has posted an update regarding BTs IPStream Home1000 (1Mbps ADSL) trial, which specifically focuses on upgrades from slower packages and existing (ISDN etc.) technologies:
On October 6th all ISPs who sell the BT IPstream products will be able to place new orders ('provides') for the BT IPstream Home 1000 trial. If the ISP only places manual orders, or if you require a manual order these can only be placed after 13th October 2003.
Service providers who use the "eCo Broadband" system will also be able to order ISDN/Home Highway conversions to Home 1000 and regrades from October 6th. Providers who use BT Wholesales' XML gateway will unfortunately only be able to place 'provide' orders, anything else will have to wait for the manual order start date of 13th October. The XML gateway will hopefully be able to support regrades from early next year.
