The jetstream is predominantly easterly over the equator but is generally sporadic seldom reaching 70kts. Then there are two bands of predominantly westerly jet streams over about 20N-30N and 50N-60N. It is all quite approximate. These northen jetstreams are much stronger at 60kts-200kts (300kts sometimes over the west atlantic).
