Perhaps you meant when /using Tor/ the ISP cannot detect the destination address or port number? (I read your email several times and did not detect this meaning.) Surely on a generic encrypted connection the ISP can determine the destination of the connection. (For a Tor user, that would be the the IP address of the entry guard.)
