ITEM 5:  OTHER EVENTS.

         On June 20, 2000, our stockholders approved, among other items,
amendments to our Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
satisfying one of the requirements to the effectiveness of the extension of our
distribution relationships with AT&T, Comcast and Cox and other transactions
contemplated by our letter agreement with these cable partners (the "MDA
Extension").

         On June 19, 2000, Cablevision filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery
Court against Excite@Home, AT&T, Comcast, Cox and affiliated entities alleging,
among other things, that certain provisions of the letter agreement constitute
an amendment to the Stockholders' Agreement to which Cablevision is a party and
that Cablevision's consent is required for any such amendment. On June 22, 2000,
the parties amended the letter agreement. Each party acknowledged that the court
in the Cablevision lawsuit was being advised that the parties have agreed not
consummate the MDA Extension until at least the conclusion of the trial on the
merits in the Cablevision lawsuit. In addition, the date on which the parties
may first terminate the letter agreement if the MDA Extension has not yet become
effective was extended from September 30, 2000 to the earlier of November 15,
2000 or 30 days after the final judgment in the Cablevision litigation is no
longer subject to appeal or review by the Delaware courts. The amendment to the
letter agreement is attached as an exhibit to this report.

         We believe that there is no legal merit to Cablevision's claim, and we
will continue to vigorously defend this action.

ITEM 7:  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

         (c)  Exhibits.
              --------
              99.01   Letter Agreement dated June 22, 2000 among Excite@Home,
                      AT&T, Comcast and Cox, amending the letter agreement dated
                      March 28, 2000 among these parties.
