Here is a little I have found in checking up on this company.

Following the highly successful Birthday promotion in March where X-Stream offered FREE 0800 calls to its already FREE Internet service (another first from X-Stream), the promotion continued throughout April with FREE late evenings added to the weekends. X-Stream is the first and only ISP to make such an offer. Our business model is very different from other so-called free ISPs, based on advertising and e-commerce rather than just taking a percentage of interconnect call revenue, and we will be extending the FREE Call programme over the coming months.
Users: Are up to a new record high of 305,000 subscribers. X-Stream is well on course to top 500,000 users in the summer.
New Product News: On 17th April X-Stream revealed X-Stream Messenger, an instant chat programme that alerts X-Stream users when their friends are on-line. X-Stream users can send instant messages, start a private chat room and even display their picture while chatting. Version 3.0 of the X-Stream software: The main differences between Version 2.3 and Version 3.0 are that users no longer need to have Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 or higher, and the X-Stream Console has a new look that gives more screen space and less ad space than ever before. The X-Stream WebSearch Tool is a small program which allows users to search all of the popular search engines with ease.
Strategic Announcements: Following X-Stream's announcement on the 4th March regarding X-Stream's closer relationship with Lucent Technologies Inc., X-Stream can now boast 25%+ headroom capacity on incoming calls. This means that during standard local rate times an engaged tone is something that will never be heard and the availability rate is 99%.
Advertisers: X-Stream welcomed on-board Daltons Weekly, 101 CD, IVMS, lastminute.com, Amazon and Sony Friend Factory, thereby offering users the opportunity to buy music, books, flights and even property from their PCs.
