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.

Re: Dead end

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.

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.
