I don't know how it works, I presume AOL buys bandwidth from the local supplier. The question is if p2p bandwidth is being shaped, is it the local supplier or aol (who are paying for it) that are shaping.
Yes it would be a bit difficult to port forward if you can't use a static ip. I have a static ip but the public ip still changes from time to time. I believe this depends upon the isp as to frequency, etc.
