The ISPs who are anticipating financial hardship are more concerned with the cost of bandwidth between their network and home ADSL users, and _not_ between their network and the outside world. This is because they are charged a metered rate by BT for all the traffic they relay over BT's ADSL network. Thus adding data caches to their network wouldn't solve their immediate problem.
