Uhhh.. I would find this very hard to believe, as:
A) Encryption is very difficult to detect. Suppose that I were to chose 256 words in some language, and encode each byte as one of those ("zero", "one", ..., would do). If ISPs were to block that, then they'd be likely to block massive amounts of legitimate moterial as well. Further, this would catch other forms of binaries, such as zip files being downloaded.
B) As detecting encryption is difficult, they might detect protocols, which would catch most P2P. However, if SSH is included, it means that they've added a special filter
