FOR RELEASE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2001
--------------------------------------

          AT&T OFFERS TO PURCHASE EXCITE@HOME BROADBAND ACCESS BUSINESS


NEW YORK - AT&T today confirmed that it has signed a definitive agreement to
purchase essentially all of Excite@Home's broadband access business assets
for $307 million in cash.  Separately today, Excite@Home announced it has
commenced a Chapter 11 case in the United States Bankruptcy Court, for the
Northern District of California (San Francisco).

AT&T remains committed to working with Excite@Home's management and the
bankruptcy court to provide uninterrupted high-speed cable Internet service
to existing Excite@Home customers, as well as continuing relationships with
other cable companies to ensure seamless service to their customers on the
@Home network.  However, the asset purchase agreement remains subject to
higher and better offers.

If the asset sale is approved, the company also said it plans to build on the
assets it acquires to develop a more robust network while improving and
growing its broadband high-speed Internet access business for all cable
company subscribers.

The boards of directors of both AT&T and Excite@Home have approved the
asset-purchase agreement, which will be filed with the bankruptcy court and
the Securities & Exchange Commission.  The transaction is subject to
bankruptcy court approval and certain other conditions.  Subject to such
approval, the companies hope to close the transaction by early next year.

AT&T noted that debtor-in-possession financing was unnecessary, as
Excite@Home believes it has sufficient funds to continue operations
throughout the period prior to closing.
