It will be long time that AT&T gets the infrastructure in place to offer the equivalent of ADSL via cable. I was reading a report that by the end of this year, there would be something like 15 million lines of ADSL. Current cable modems could not really offer high speed access when many people get on line at the same time. Note that, at this moment, a cable goes to many houses, i.e., many homes sharing the same cable, whereas, the phone line is a one to one connection between the house and the telephone end office, from there, the high capacity lines such as T1, DS3, or fibers take over generally without capacity problem. I think AOL is smart not to jump into cable prematurely.
