Correct. I suspect they'd get away with it on the grounds that the majority of SSL traffic, by volume, is probably going to be newsgroups.
I'm not even sure if misfiring or misconfigured DPI is covered by anything after all traffic that can't be identified is throttled which will inevitably encompass things other than P2P / newsgroups.

DPI is something that needs to be done with a lot of care and managed very closely. I know of a guy at an ISP somewhat smaller than Virgin, DPI was all he did.
