This results in major headaches for several customers but thats another issue.
The point is my ISP has only limited access and control of their equipment and ive been pondering the possibility of BT altering their Wholesale terms and conditions to include instalation of DPI Equipment on wholesale connections, basicly telling the smaller ISP's "We're installing this equpiment on our last mile of copper and you can either abide by this or run your own copper to each customers home."
I've asked my ISP about this several times and was responded on each turn with deafining silence. Which to be honest i find more than a little unsettling.
Of course im being purely speculative here but a simple reasuring answer from my ISP would go a long way.

Don't start me off on BT and Openreach engineers. It's not just headaches they cause, it's stress, stratospheric blood pressure and so much more. Even now the sight of a BT logo ups my BP 30 points. I'm not joking.
Your speculation seems logical to me. I'm not sure of the legality of such a move but if they could get away with it I'm sure BT would go for it. Which could mean that smaller ISPs who have said they won't ever go down the Phorm route might find themselves shafted (can I use this word mod?) by BT...
