What a lot of people don't know is that AOL Broadband doesn't actually exist. They just repackage broadband services available in your area.
If you sign up for AOL DSL, you are actually getting SBC DSL, Roadrunner or whoever. If you want AOL Broadband Cable, you are actually getting Comcast Internet or whoever. On the box it says AOL, but it's actually not. So this isn't as profitable for them as it may seem. They are likely getting small referral fee's.
Next year they are coming out with a VoIP service, so obviously they are planning on putting a great deal of resources into that. It's still in beta right now. Testing was scheduled to end Dec 31, but I doubt that will happen.
