I was under the impression that they'd need DPI to do this.
DPI alone will not allow them to see the contents of SSL-encrypted traffic. The would need to use a man in the middle attack, as described earlier in this thread, to decrypt the stream analyse it and reencrypt it before delivering to you. This is not "breaking" SSL and can be detected from the client end.
