That is bull IMO on mutliple levels. I use NTLs phone system, does that give them the right to listen to my phone calls, even with non-human means. I very much doubt that as it would surely be classified as an illegal wiretap. Why should a data network, which by the way carries VOIP traffic, be treated any differently? If they are shaping at the transport layer then that is a different matter, something I'd appropriate to line routing on the PSTN, but deep packet inspection is simply wrong and IMO a breach of my privacy. Wether it's a computer or a human being doing the inspection is irrelevant!
