Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

Effective May 16, 2002, at the recommendation of the Board of Directors of
Intermedia Communications Inc. ("Intermedia"), Intermedia engaged KPMG LLP
("KPMG") as Intermedia's independent auditors. During the two most recent fiscal
years and through May 16, 2002, Intermedia did not consult KPMG with respect to
the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on
the consolidated financial statements of Intermedia, or any other matters or
reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

         KPMG replaces the firm of Arthur Andersen LLP ("Arthur Andersen"),
which Intermedia's Board of Directors determined should not be re-engaged.

         Arthur Andersen issued an unqualified opinion on the consolidated
financial statements of Intermedia as of and for the year ended December 31,
2001. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, and in the subsequent
period through May 16, 2002, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on
any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Arthur Andersen, would have caused it to make reference to the
matter in connection with their report on the financial statements.
Additionally, during such periods there were no reportable events as defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

         Intermedia has requested, and Arthur Andersen has furnished, a letter
addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating that Arthur Andersen
agrees with the statements made by Intermedia herein. A copy of that letter from
Arthur Andersen to the Securities and Exchange Commission is filed as Exhibit
16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

         In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 6, 2001 (File No.
000-20135), Intermedia previously reported a change in accountants to perform
the audit of the consolidated financial statements of Intermedia for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001, which Current Report is incorporated by reference
herein.
