                         AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO SCHEDULE 13D

     This statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule  13D") relating to the common
stock,  par  value  $.01 per  share  of High  Speed  Access  Corp.,  a  Delaware
corporation (the "Issuer"),  as previously filed by Vulcan Ventures Incorporated
("Vulcan  Ventures")  and Paul G. Allen,  is hereby  amended as set forth below.
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D does not report any new transactions in the
Issuer's  common stock.  Rather,  this  Amendment is being filed to reflect that
Vulcan Ventures does not have an ownership  interest in Charter  Communications,
Inc. Capitalized terms used without definition have the meaning ascribed to such
terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3 of the Schedule  13D is hereby  amended by deleting the entire Item 3 and
substituting the following:

         Item 3:  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

     On November 25, 1998,  Vulcan Ventures  purchased  8,000,000  shares of the
Issuer's  Series B convertible  preferred stock at a purchase price of $2.50 per
share for aggregate cash consideration of $20,000,000. On April 30, 1999, Vulcan
Ventures  purchased  5,000,000  shares  of the  Issuer's  Series  C  convertible
preferred  stock at a  purchase  price of $5.00  per share  for  aggregate  cash
consideration  of  $25,000,000.  Each share of Series B and Series C convertible
preferred  stock converted  automatically  into 1.55 shares of common stock upon
the closing of the Issuer's  initial public offering on June 9, 1999. As of that
date,  the Issuer  issued an  additional  72,139 shares of its common stock that
were paid as cumulative, accrued dividends in respect of the Series B and Series
C convertible  preferred  stock upon its automatic  conversion.  Vulcan Ventures
funded its  purchases of the Series B and Series C convertible  preferred  stock
from its own working  capital.  None of the funds used to purchase the shares of
Series B or Series C  convertible  preferred  stock  consisted of funds or other
consideration  borrowed or  otherwise  obtained  for the  purpose of  acquiring,
holding, trading or voting the shares of common stock.

     Mr. Allen may be deemed  beneficially to own an additional 22,971 shares of
the Issuer's common stock that are issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants
held by Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter"), a Delaware corporation that is
an affiliate of Mr. Allen. If Charter exercises the warrants, it is contemplated
that the  acquisition  of the  underlying  common  stock  would be  funded  from
Charter's  working  capital or from capital  contributions  from Mr.  Allen,  or
another entity under Mr. Allen's control.

Item 4 of the Schedule  13D is hereby  amended by deleting the entire Item 4 and
substituting the following:

         Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

     On  November  25,1998,  the  Issuer  entered  into  a  Systems  Access  and
Investment  Agreement with Vulcan  Ventures and Charter,  a Programming  Content
Agreement with Vulcan Ventures,  and a related Network  Services  Agreement with
Charter.  Under  these  agreements,  Charter  committed  to  provide  the Issuer
exclusive access to at least 750,000 homes passed and the Issuer agreed to issue
the warrants described in this Item 4 to purchase up to an additional  7,750,000
shares of the Issuer's common stock as an equity incentive to provide the Issuer
additional homes passed, although Charter is not obligated to do so. Charter can
terminate  the  agreement,  remove a  particular  system from the  agreement  or
terminate the Issuer's  exclusivity  rights, on a system by system basis, if the
Issuer fails to meet performance benchmarks or otherwise breaches its agreement,
including  its  agreement  to provide  content  designated  by Vulcan  Ventures.
Charter can also terminate the Issuer's  agreement,  for any reason,  as long as
Charter  purchases  the  associated  cable head end equipment and modems at book
value and pays the Issuer a  termination  fee based on the net present  value of
the  revenues  the Issuer  otherwise  would earn for the  remaining  term of the
agreement from end users subscribing to its services as of the termination date.
During the term of the agreements, the Issuer has agreed not to deploy Worldgate
(SM), Web TV(R), digital TV or related products in the market areas of any

                                  Page 4 of 8

<PAGE>

committed system or in any area which Charter  operates a cable system.  The
agreements  will continue until the Issuer ceases to provide  services to an end
user residing in a home passed in a committed system.  Except as to confidential
portions that have been redacted and as to which confidential treatment has been
requested  by the  Issuer,  the full text of the Systems  Access and  Investment
Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1 to this  statement  and  incorporated  herein by
reference.

     Concurrently  with the Issuer  entering  into these  agreements,  it issued
8,000,000 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock to Vulcan Ventures at a
purchase  price  of  $2.50  per  share,   which  Vulcan  Ventures  acquired  for
$20,000,000  in cash.  Vulcan  Ventures also  subscribed to purchase 2.5 million
shares of the Issuer's Series C convertible  preferred stock at a purchase price
of $5.00 per share on or before  November  25,  2000,  and received an option to
purchase an additional 2.5 million shares of our Series C convertible  preferred
stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share on or before  November 25, 2000. On
April 30, 1999, Vulcan Ventures  purchased the entire 5,000,000 shares of Series
C convertible  preferred  stock for  $25,000,000 in cash. Each share of Series B
and Series C convertible preferred stock issued to Vulcan Ventures automatically
converted  into 1.55  shares of common  stock upon  completion  of the  Issuer's
initial public offering. Vulcan Ventures is entitled to registration rights with
respect to such  shares of common  stock as well as the 72,139  shares of common
stock issued as of June 9, 1999, in payment of cumulative,  accrued dividends on
the Series B and Series C convertible preferred stock.

     As an inducement to Vulcan  Ventures to cause Charter to commit  additional
systems to the Issuer,  the Issuer granted Vulcan Ventures  warrants to purchase
up to 7,750,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock at a purchase price of $3.23
per share. Vulcan Ventures  subsequently  assigned the warrants to Charter.  The
warrants are  exercisable  by Charter at the rate of 1.55 shares of common stock
for each home passed committed to the Issuer by Charter in excess of 750,000. On
or before July 31, 2001,  Charter may earn  warrants to purchase up to 3,875,000
shares,  which  warrants must be exercised on or before July 31, 2002. Of these,
Charter had earned warrants to purchase 22,971 shares of common stock as of June
9, 1999.  On or before July 31, 2003,  Charter may earn  warrants to purchase an
additional  3,875,000 shares, which warrants must be exercised on or before July
31, 2004. Charter may forfeit the warrants in certain  circumstances,  generally
if the number of homes  passed in a committed  system is reduced.  All shares of
common stock  issuable upon exercise of the warrants have  registration  rights.
The full text of the  warrants,  as  amended,  and the  assignments  from Vulcan
Ventures  to  Charter  are  filed  as  Exhibits  2 and 3 to this  statement  and
incorporated herein by reference.

     Vulcan  Ventures and Mr. Allen  acquired  the  securities  reported in this
statement for  investment  purposes.  Vulcan  Ventures or Mr. Allen may purchase
additional  shares  of common  stock  from time to time,  depending  on  various
factors,  including,  without  limitation,  the price of the common stock, stock
market  conditions  and the  business  prospects  of the Issuer.  Subject to the
Amended and Restated  Registration  Rights  Agreement  and the lockup  agreement
described in Item 6 of this  statement,  Vulcan  Ventures and Mr. Allen may also
determine to dispose of some or all of their beneficial holdings of the Issuer's
securities.  They  reserve the right to increase or decrease  their  holdings on
such terms and at such times as they may decide.

     Vulcan Ventures and Mr. Allen have no present plan or proposal that relates
to or would  result in (i) an  extraordinary  corporate  transaction,  such as a
merger, reorganization, liquidation, or sale or transfer of a material amount of
assets involving the Issuer or any of its  subsidiaries,  (ii) any change in the
Issuer's present Board of Directors or management,  (iii) any material change in
the Issuer's  present  capitalization  or dividend  policy or any other material
change in the Issuer's business or corporate  structure,  (iv) any change in the
Issuer's  charter or by-laws or other actions that may impede the acquisition of
control of the Issuer by any  person,  (v) any change  that would  result in the
Issuer's common stock becoming eligible for termination

                                  Page 5 of 8
<PAGE>

of its registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in Nasdaq, or
(vi) any similar action.

Item 5 of the Schedule  13D is hereby  amended by deleting the entire Item 5 and
substituting the following:

     Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     Vulcan Ventures  beneficially owns 20,222,139 shares of the Issuer's common
stock,  representing  approximately 37.4% of the shares of the class outstanding
based upon  54,117,849  shares  outstanding  as of June 9, 1999,  as reported to
Vulcan Ventures by the Issuer.  Mr. Allen beneficially owns 20,245,110 shares of
the Issuer's common stock, representing approximately 37.4% of the shares of the
class  outstanding,  including  22,971  shares  issuable  upon the  exercise  of
warrants held by Charter.  Vulcan Ventures and Mr. Allen share the power to vote
and to  direct  the  vote  of,  and the  power  to  dispose  and to  direct  the
disposition of,  20,222,139  shares of the Issuer's common stock.  Mr. Allen and
Charter  share  the power to vote and to  direct  the vote of,  and the power to
dispose and to direct the  disposition  of, the 22,971 shares  issuable upon the
exercise of warrants held by Charter.

     To the best knowledge of Vulcan  Ventures and Mr. Allen,  none of the other
parties  named  in Item 2 owns  any of the  Issuer's  common  stock,  except  as
follows:

     William  D.  Savoy,  Vice  President  and a  Director  of Vulcan  Ventures,
beneficially  owns  immediately  exercisable  options to acquire  27,125 shares,
which options were granted in January 1999. Vulcan Ventures disclaims beneficial
ownership of such shares.

     Except as set forth in Item 4 of this  statement,  Vulcan  Ventures and Mr.
Allen  have  not,  nor,  to the  knowledge  of  Vulcan  Ventures  has any of its
executive officers,  directors or controlling persons, effected any transactions
in the Issuer's common stock during the past sixty days.
