                                     PART II
                 INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

                  This Registration Statement is for the registration of
additional shares of Common Stock of High Speed Access Corp. (the "Registrant")
for issuance under the High Speed Access Corp. 1999 Stock Option Plan as amended
(the "Plan"). These securities are in addition to the securities registered on
the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (SEC No. 333-92171) previously filed by
the Registrant on December 6, 1999, and as to which a filing fee of $18,434.89
was paid. At that time, a total of 4,032,099 shares of Common Stock were
registered for issuance as follows: 465,000 shares of Common Stock were
registered for issuance under the High Speed Access Corp. 1999 Non-Employee
Directors Stock Option Plan; 467,099 shares of Common Stock were registered for
issuance under the High Speed Access Corp. 1998 Stock Option Plan; and 3,100,000
shares of Common Stock were registered for issuance under the Plan. An
additional 4,679,500 shares of Common Stock were authorized for issuance under
the Plan as amended as of June 6, 2000 and these additional shares represent the
4,679,500 shares of Common Stock being registered hereby. Therefore, pursuant to
General Instruction E on Form S-8, the contents of the earlier registration
statement relating to the Plan (SEC No. 333-92171) are incorporated by reference
into this Registration Statement, subject to the following.

ITEM 3.    INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE

                  The following documents filed by the Registrant with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are incorporated herein
by reference and deemed to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such
documents:

                  1. The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999;

                  2. The Registrant's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000; and

                  3. The description of the Registrant's Common Stock contained
in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A (SEC File No. 000-26153),
including any subsequent amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating
that description.

                  All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of
a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all such securities then remaining unsold,
shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement
contained in a document incorporated by reference herein and filed prior to the
filing hereof shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein modifies
or supersedes such statement, and any statement contained herein or in any other
document incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained in any other subsequently filed document which also is
incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified
or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS

                  See Exhibit Index, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

         (a)      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
         being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                           (i) To include any prospectus required by Section
                  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                  arising after the effective date of this Registration
                  Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
                  thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
                  fundamental change in the information set forth in this
                  Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
                  increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
                  total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
                  which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
                  end of the maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
                  of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
                  424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
                  represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum
                  aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
                  Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
                  Statement.

                           (iii) To include any material information with
                  respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
                  in this Registration Statement or any material change to such
                  information in this Registration Statement;

         Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do
         not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or
         Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a
         post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
         reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
         of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
         reference in this Registration Statement.

                  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
         the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
         deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
         being offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
         shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
         the termination of the offering.

         (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   SIGNATURES

                  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Littleton, State of Colorado, on the 20th day of
September, 2000.
