and as far as i know, AOL have never co-located any services before, cant see them doing it now, less profit in it for them.

I would say with more or less certainty that all thats going to happen is the traffic is routed through NTL internal networks to some AOL servers.
AOL could not colocate servers - if they did they would be hosting out of the UK and be forced to charge VAT. AOL automatically makes 17.5% more than most ISPs as their servers are based in the US. They have no hardware in the EU.
