According to their methodology blurb they didn't count BellSouth,
Wouldn't Bellsouth's numbers be counted as AT&Ts?

Many of those AOL folks are probably using it for backup or on -the-road access and are double-counted with a broadband ISP which does not offer such dialup access as a perk (most cable ISPs, for instance).
$25 a month for a back-up ISP?

AOL does offer a limited hours $9.95/mo plan. My sister uses it.

Not yet. Doc is right, they don't include BellSouth's yet. I assume it's something regulatory in nature until all the I's are dotted. I think with them, AT&T is the largest ISP. Not sure if they surpass AOL though. I think they might.

Why would people use a back up dial up at $9.95 with another ISP when with DSL (through AT&T at least) you get unlimited dial access?

For my sister, that isn't a backup internet access. That is her primary access from home.

If she needs fast access, she uses the computers at the school where she teaches.
