Use the
Broadband checker in my post #62 it will tell you what services you can have on your nearest local BT exchange, (you might be lucky & find that you exchange is datastream enabled).
If your after faster upload than 256k, Sdsl (Symmetric DSL) which is a single twisted pair line, carrying upto 2.3Mbit/s each direction on a duplex line.) is the way to go but it is limited to certain exchanges at the moment, and its already been stated unless you live somewhere like london & is mainly aimed at business's.
If you want to know more about your local BT exchange (want it to carry a faster service than it has at present) then do a search in this forum i'm sure there will be a post with a link telling you hopefully what you need to know.
