VM AND BT both have Allot (or similar) installed within their network edge at the pops, I am not sure about other ISP's.

i dont think we are Toto, your just useing to much tunnel vision to focus on a single tech point, just because the ISPs have installed the DPI kit to track, collect, process and restrict zings payed for 3d party usenet useage doesnt make it legal.
step back and consider this.
is it legal in the UK/EU to sell you a pound of apples, then give you 3/4 of a pound ,No its not.
is it legal in the UK/EU to sell you a killowatt of power, then give you 3/4 killowatt of power, NO its not.
is it legal in the UK/EU to sell you something thats unfit for purpose and not give you a refund, No its not.
is it legal in the UK/EU to sell you a service and then give you 3/4 or even less, then not give you a refund, no its not.
is it legal in the UK/EU to sell you a service then spy on your personal unique datastream for commercial profit without informed consent, no its not.
see, you just cant get away from this DPI use and long standing consumer legal rights (its just Phorm/NebuAd gave it high profile news coverage) and existing laws, bring it to court and see what the ISPs do, they will remove it before it comes to court
if enough people actually fill in the court papers before they run away, as VM/BT etc know full well they cant win a consumer court case given the already existing case law.
