> how much better than JetStart is JetStream?

speedwise?? no comparison for local downloads... I get 16kbs on Jetstart,
approx 360kbs on Jetstream. The latest patches for CS took me about 5 mins
to download (it that)... Browsing?? you do notice it being slower, but its
definately seems much faster than modem speed... Ive noticed that checking
email from my old Clear account via Jetstart seems quite slow.

I havent noticed any 'ping' differences between logging into the games realm
(ie via Jetstream) and connecting via my normal config (ie Jetstart)... I
just dont bother changing over anymore when Im playing CS.
