They wouldnt need to inspect SSL traffic if you are wondering about throttling, it would be quite easy to see us all connecting with 10 or 20 ports to giganews.com or astraweb etc etc and throttle certain IP ranges and addresses.
Not sure how intelligent the kit is, but im sure they could implement that type of throttling if they really wanted to.
They could quite easily throttle all traffic on port 443 as well like the other ports if they wanted to.

AFAIK they cannot decrypt SSL traffic, but im no expert in that field, what with the legalities involved etc.
But as I say above it wouldnt take a genius to work out what you were connecting to, with 20 ssl connections to news.giganews.com
