I would assume you CAN buy an appliance that will shape SSL traffic though.

Tor might only run at 20KB/s, but if you have numerous DIFFERENT people using it, or HSS, or FreeVPN, or any other similar service, it all adds up.

Arbor-Ellacoya e30

I have heard (I think on dslreports.com) that this is what Shaw uses (used?) to shape traffic in area where the infrastructure is not sufficient to guarantee enough bandwidth for phones. If there is anything that can shape SSL traffic it might be a good place to start looking.

There is also a more robust e100 model, but I have no idea how it differs.
