It sounds like AOL won’t disclose that information and the only national survey anyone has cited doesn’t distinguish by ISP.

Disclosure would likely sooner or later compare actual users to people paying for the service, and while a discrepancy of orders of magnitude more of the latter probably wasn't illegal (unless some enterprising AG decides to make it a crime) it would be very bad press. No point in risking that when they can just stay mum.
