Seriously? They assign internal addresses (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16) to all customers?
Are you able to name the ISP?

Webpass is an example of a "good" ISP that does this. It's my only qualm with them. Besides that they are outstanding. IPv6 works great.
And they usually call it "web access" or something similar, never speaking of an "Internet connection". Which is what it is, a way to access websites and usually not much else.
Maybe some ISPs will implement the Port Control Protocol [1] at some point, which would allow port forwarding with the DS-Lite NATs.
Sadly, that's only half correct. Yes, nat traversal usually works to establish connections. But in practice port mappings are not necessarily the same thing as NAT table entries. If your p2p application contacts a lot of endpoints, even from the same source port, this can eventually lead to saturation. At that point you'll get packet drops and ICMP errors.
In other words, on some aftr implementations p2p can lead to resource exhaustion, leading to a pretty bad ipv4 experience.

Some already do. The CPE can forward local mappings to the AFTR.
I think BT's cheaper broadbands do this, for one.
Fortunately some of those can un-NAT you if you ask politely.
