SSL is a protocol and what's inside the SSL can't be read unless you proxy the SSL connection and terminate it on the appliance. Secure Sockets Layer - what's running on top of the SSL tunnel can be anything and ISP is none the wiser, so they throttle based on source address, the Giganews FEPs.

VPN is completely secure so long as the encryption is set up appropriately however as mentioned above you don't need to know what's in the VPN to be able to throttle.
I rather you did not talk to me like i am idiot, neither SSL or VPN is 100% secure nor are there 100% invisible there both got vulnerabilities that can be exploited and both can be viewed what the content is but it is not easy to do. I aint done networking for nothing :s
