There's a vast difference between the police lawfully monitoring communications in the investigation of suspected criminal activity or even an employer monitoring his employee's use of the company connection, and a private company monitoring your own paid for private connection for financial gain.
What about BT employees, I understand that they get free BT connections as a perk. So unless BT specifically exclude their employees' broadband connections from passing through a Phorm DPI device, then their employer will effectively be monitoring their private communications even when they are at home - If I was a BT employee, I'd either be talking to the union to get employees lines excluded from phorm's DPI devices or moving my ADSL to another provider.
