After reading this the thought of how many they might need and costs when the company shares are spirrelling down again. Most likely some old slow PCs plugged into BTs network using linux to do the job.

Sorry chaps but I think you're barking up the wrong tree on this one. An ACE module *does* have some dpi functionality, but that doesn't make it dpi kit in of itself, it's primarily a load-balancer. You could also count the number of techies at BT with the requisite level of knowledge on ACE modules (to use them to their full extent) on the back of frogs penis.
ACE modules are also not the most configuration friendly kit in the world
