Nominees:

    This letter is being distributed to securities dealers, commercial banks,
trust companies and other nominees in connection with the rights offering by
Adelphia Business Solutions, Inc. of 53,772,548 shares of our Class A common
stock and 52,715,788 shares of our Class B common stock, each at a subscription
price of $7.28 per share, pursuant to non-transferable rights distributed to
holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on the record
date, February 19, 2001. The rights are described in the enclosed prospectus
supplement and evidenced by a subscription certificate registered in your name
or the name of your nominee.

    Each beneficial owner of shares of our Class A common stock registered in
your name or the name of your nominee was granted 1.5 rights for each share of
our Class A common stock owned by such beneficial owner on the record date.
Similarly, each beneficial owner of shares of our Class B common stock
registered in your name or the name of your nominee was granted 1.5 rights for
each share of our Class B common stock owned by such beneficial owner on the
record date. No fractional rights were granted. If a fractional right was
calculated for a beneficial owner as a result of the ratio described above, the
number of rights granted to such beneficial owner was rounded down to the
nearest whole right. Holders of rights are entitled to purchase one share of our
common stock for each whole right granted.

       issued by Adelphia Business Solutions, Inc.; and
