<They were the type of customer they wanted to keep because they
were not a business and used the service during non-peak hours.>

Total lie. AOL's peak hours are at night. In fact, they've tried
desparately to generate daytime traffic from business via special
services, and have folded nearly every one. e.g. 'AOL Enterprise'
which 2 years ago was touted as contributing $300 million/year
by 1998. In fact, one of AOL's biggest problems is a capacity
glut due to lack of daytime usage. The economics are like an
airline that flies 75% of flights nearly empty and the rest are
full or overbooked.
