             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

1.   Basis of Presentation:

     These condensed consolidated financial statements of Voyager.net, Inc. and
its subsidiaries (the "Company") for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999 and the related footnote information are unaudited and have been prepared
by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. These financial statements included herein should be read
in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and
the related notes to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the
year ended December 31, 1999, which are included in the Company's Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and dated March 31, 2000.  In
management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) which management
considers necessary to present the consolidated financial position of the
Company at March 31, 2000 and the results of its operations and cash flows for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.  Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The results of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.

2.   Business Combinations:

     During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company acquired certain
assets used in connection with the Internet access service business of two
entities as described below:

     February 11, 2000, the Company purchased assets of Valley Business
Equipment, Inc. for approximately $4,050,000. Approximately $3,910,000 was
allocated to the acquired customer base cost as a result of this transaction.

     March 12, 2000, the Company purchased assets of Livingston On-Line for
approximately $325,000.  Approximately $310,000 was allocated to the acquired
customer base cost as a result of this transaction.

     The unaudited pro forma combined historical results, as if the entities
listed above had been acquired at the beginning of the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, are included in the table below.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

3.   Debt:

     The Company has a revolving available credit facility with a bank group in
the amount of $60 million, with the option to extend to $70 million, on similar
terms and conditions.  The credit facility matures on June 30, 2005.  The
revolving credit facility agreement allows the Company to elect an interest rate
as of any borrowing date based on either the (1) prime rate, or (2) LIBOR, plus
a margin ranging from 0.5% to 2.75% depending on the ratio of funded debt to
EBITDA.  The elected rate as of March 31, 2000 is approximately 8.54%. Automatic
and permanent reductions of the maximum commitments begin June 30, 2001 and
continue until maturity.

4.   Earnings Per Share:

     The impact of dilutive shares is not significant.  Net loss per share is
computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. Inclusion of common share equivalents of 3,983,847 would be anti-
dilutive and have been excluded from per share calculations.

5.   Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information:

     The following is the supplemental cash flow information for all periods
presented:

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

6.   Stock-Based Compensation Plan:

     During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company granted 545,381
options to purchase common stock to certain members of management, employees and
non-employees.  At the grant date, all of the options granted vest in four equal
annual installments beginning January 6, 2001.  The exercise price for these
options was not less than the fair market value of the Company's common stock on
the grant date.  Therefore, no additional compensation expense has been
recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2000 for these options.

     During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company recognized
compensation expense of $25,000 relating to options granted prior to January 1,
2000.

7.   Recent Accounting Interpretation:

     On December 3, 1999, the Securities and  Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements.  SAB 101 summarizes some of the SEC's interpretations of the
application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition.
Revenue recognition under SAB 101 was initially effective for the Company's
first quarter 2000 financial statements.  However, SAB 101A, which was released
March 24, 2000, delayed adoption of SAB 101 until the second quarter 2000.
Changes resulting from SAB 101 require that a cumulative effect of such changes
for 1999 and prior years be recorded as an adjustment to net income on January
1, 2000 plus adjust the statement of operations for the three months ended March
31, 2000.

     Although the Company is still in the process of reviewing SAB 101, it
believes that its revenue recognition practices are in substantial compliance
with SAB 101 for the year ending December 31, 2000 or that adoption of its
provisions would not be material to its annual or quarterly results of
operations.

8.   Merger Agreement:

     On March 12, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to merge with
CoreComm Limited in a stock and cash transaction. The transaction is subject to
stockholder approval, certain regulatory approvals and other conditions.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

     Voyager.net, Inc. ("Voyager.net" or the "Company") is the largest Internet
communications company focused on the Midwestern United States with
approximately 368,000 subscribers as of March 31, 2000.  Voyager.net provides
high-speed data communications services and Internet access to residential and
business subscribers. Services include broadband digital subscriber line, or
DSL, dedicated business connectivity, cable modem access, dial-up Internet
access, Web-hosting, electronic commerce, server co-location and long distance
phone services. We operate the largest dial-up Internet network in the Midwest
in terms of geographic coverage, with approximately 200 Voyager.net-owned points
of presence in Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota.
Voyager.net has competitive local exchange carrier, or CLEC, status in Michigan,
Ohio, and Wisconsin.

     On March 12, 2000, Voyager.net, CoreComm Limited ("CoreComm") and CoreComm
Group Sub I, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm ("Sub"), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement").  Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, Sub will merge with and into Voyager.net, with Voyager.net surviving
the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm (the "Merger").  Under the
terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Voyager common stock
(except for shares held by Voyager, CoreComm or Sub or any of their respective
subsidiaries, and those dissenting stockholders who exercise and perfect their
appraisal rights) will be converted into the right to receive a cash payment of
$3.00 and .292 shares of CoreComm common stock.  Under the Merger Agreement's
collar provisions, the shares of CoreComm common stock to be issued by CoreComm
in the Merger will be adjusted based on the average closing price of CoreComm's
stock price during a specified period prior to closing.

     Our Board of Directors has approved the Merger Agreement and the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.  Consummation of the
transactions, including the Merger, is subject to the approval of the Company's
stockholders, certain regulatory approvals and other conditions.  Holders of
over a majority of the voting shares of the Company have entered into an
agreement with CoreComm to vote in favor of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and
the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  We cannot assure you
that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated.

Recent Accounting Interpretation

     On December 3, 1999, the Securities and  Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements.  SAB 101 summarizes some of the SEC's interpretations of the
application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition.
Revenue recognition under SAB 101 was initially effective for the Company's
first quarter 2000 financial statements.  However, SAB 101A, which was released

Changes resulting from SAB 101 require that a cumulative effect of such changes
for 1999 and prior years be recorded as an adjustment to net income on January
1, 2000 plus adjust the statement of operations for the three months ended March
31, 2000.

     Although the Company is still in the process of reviewing SAB 101, it
believes that its revenue recognition practices are in substantial compliance
with SAB 101 for the year ending December 31, 2000 or that adoption of its
provisions would not be material to its annual or quarterly results of
operations.

Acquisitions

  Our acquisition strategy is designed to leverage our existing network and
administrative operations to allow us to enter new markets within the Midwest,
as well as to expand our presence in existing markets, and to realize economies
of scale. Since December 31, 1999 we have acquired two Internet service provider
businesses in the Midwest totaling approximately 12,200 subscribers. Below is a
summary of our completed acquisitions, with the number of customers acquired at
the respective date of acquisition:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to March 31, 1999

     Revenues. Total consolidated revenues increased from $8.5 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 to $18.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, representing an increase of 113%. The revenue growth was
primarily driven by the increase in our customer base from approximately 188,000
at March 31, 1999 to approximately 368,000 at March 31, 2000. The growth in
customers was the result of both internal growth and acquisition activity; we
experienced internal growth from our effort to provide high quality customer and
technical service and support, geographic expansion in our coverage areas and
low customer churn rates.

     Internet access service costs. Internet access service costs increased from
$2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $7.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. Internet access service costs as a percent of
revenue increased from 33% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to 40% for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 due to investments in our network
infrastructure and call centers. The increase in spending quarter over quarter
was primarily a result of an increase in customers and their associated network
expenses and an increase in billing costs.

     Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense increased from $1.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $2.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. The increase in spending was primarily attributable
to the growth in our customer base and support functions and the expansion of
our geographic coverage area. As a percent of revenue, sales and marketing costs
remained relatively constant at approximately 11.7% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 2000.

     General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased
from $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $6.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2000. The absolute increase in spending was due
to the growth of our business and the administrative functions necessary to
support our growth. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative costs
increased from 29% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to 33% for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 due to additional recurring expenses as a
result of our initial public offering on July 21, 1999. Additional expenses are
a result of additional staff requirements as a result of our growth from March
31, 1999 to March 31, 2000.

     Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased from $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $8.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was primarily a
result of the amortization of intangible assets related to acquiring our
customer base since June 30, 1998, as well as increased capital spending for
expanded network operations and infrastructure.

     Compensation charge for issuance of common stock and stock options. We
incurred a charge of $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 related
to the issuance of common stock and stock options. The amount of this charge was
based on the issuance and grant of common stock and options at purchase and
exercise prices below fair market value and a charge to reflect vesting of
previously issued common stock or options granted. We believe these charges to
be non-recurring in nature because we expect to issue all future shares and
stock options at prices which approximate market value. However, some unvested
options to purchase common stock will continue to vest over the next four years,
which will result in additional compensation expense of approximately $91,000 in
periods subsequent to March 31, 2000.

     Other expenses, net. Other expenses, net decreased from $771,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 to $434,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2000. This decrease is the net result of interest income on notes receivable
from related parties offset by a higher average balance on our line-of-credit
which was used to fund acquisitions completed during 1998 and 1999.

     Net loss. As a result of the above, we reported net loss of $3.6 million,
or $.16 per share applicable to common stockholders, for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.19 per share
applicable to common stockholders, for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

                                       12

     EBITDA. EBITDA increased from $2.3 million for the three months ended March
31, 1999 to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. EBITDA
represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-
recurring, non-cash compensation charges. EBITDA is provided because it is a
measure commonly used by investors to analyze and compare companies on the basis
of operating performance. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance
under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be construed as a
substitute for operating income, net income or cash flows from operating
activities for purposes of analyzing our operating performance, financial
position and cash flows. EBITDA, as calculated by Voyager.net, is not
necessarily comparable with similarly titled measures for other companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

     Our principal capital and liquidity needs historically have related to
funding the cash portion of our acquisitions, our sales and marketing
activities, the development and expansion of our network infrastructure, the
establishment of our customer service and support operations and general working
capital needs. Our capital needs have historically been met through receipts
from our prepaid customer base and additional capital from outside sources,
including vendor capital leases, and the use of a $60.0 million revolving credit
facility with a bank group led by Fleet National Bank.

     On July 21, 1999, the Company completed its initial public offering in
which it raised net proceeds of approximately $99.5 million. Upon closing of the
offering, $60.6 million of senior bank debt and accrued interest and fees were
repaid, $8.8 million of preferred stock and cumulative dividends were redeemed,
and $2.3 million of subordinated notes and accrued interest were repaid. Since
the initial public offering, the Company has used all of the remaining proceeds
for general corporate purposes, acquisitions and capital expenditures.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The
primary sources of cash from operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 were $8.2 million in depreciation and amortization and a $1.7
million increase in deferred revenue.  These sources were partially offset by a
$5.9 million net loss and a $2.7 million decrease in accounts receivable.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $6.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $10.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  Net cash used in investing
activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000 consisted of $4.8 million
to acquire two Internet service provider businesses and $1.7 million for the
purchase of capital equipment.  Cash used in investing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 related to acquisition activity and the purchase of
capital equipment.

     Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, compared to net cash provided by financing
activities of $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The
primary sources of cash from financing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was the use of proceeds from our revolving credit facility and
payments on capital leases.

     Voyager.net believes that available cash on hand, amounts available under
the credit facility, additional capital financing arrangements and cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to meet Voyager.net's capital requirements
for the next twelve months. Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors
including market acceptance or our services, our ability to maintain and expand
our customer base, the rate of expansion of our infrastructure, the roll out of
our DSL plan which we expect will be available in selected Midwest cities at the
end of the third quarter 2000 and other factors.

Year 2000 Compliance.

     Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded
to accept only two digit entries in the date code field. These date code fields
need to accept four digit entries to distinguish "Year 2000" dates from earlier
dates. Confusion of dates may bring about system failures or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations; including, among other things, a temporary
inability to process transactions, send invoices or engage in similar business
activities. The Year 2000 issue affects virtually all companies and all
organizations.

     We rely on third party telecommunications and information systems equipment
and software that may not be Year 2000 compliant to provide our services.  Our
efforts to address Year 2000 issues prior to January 1, 2000, included
conducting an audit of our own systems and of our third-party suppliers as to
assessment, we developed and implemented a remediation plan with respect to
third -party software, computer technology and services that may fail to be Year
2000 compliant.

                                       13
<PAGE>

     Costs incurred to date related to Year 2000 issues have not been material,
nor do we expect to incur additional material costs related to Year 2000 issues.
We are continuing to evaluate potential disruptions or compliance that might
result in the future from Year 2000 related problems; although at this time, we
have not identified any specific business functions that are likely to suffer
material disruption as a result of Year 2000 related events. Due to the unique
and pervasive nature of the year 2000 issue, however, it is not possible to
anticipate each of the wide variety of Year 2000 events that might arise,
particularly outside of the Company, which might have a material adverse impact
on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We presently
believe that the most reasonably likely worst case scenario related to the Year
2000 issue is associated with third-party services and products, specifically
our network, telecommunications lines and equipment. The disruption to or
failure of our internal computer systems or of third-party equipment or software
to operate without Year 2000 complications could result in the interruption or
failure of our services, could require us to incur significant unanticipated
expenses to remedy any problems, could expose us to claims for losses incurred
by our users due to Year 2000 complications and could cause customers to seek
alternative Internet service providers. The defense of any claims, whether with
or without merit, could require us to incur substantial costs and would divert
management's time and attention, which could have an adverse effect on our
business and operating results. In addition, we are subject to external forces
that might generally affect industry and commerce, such as utility company Year
2000 compliance failures and related service interruptions.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 that are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.
These statements can sometimes be identified by our use of forward-looking words
such as "may," "will," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," or "intend."
Important factors that either individually or in the aggregate could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed include, without
limitation, (1) the risk that the merger of Voyager.net and CoreComm Limited
will not be consummated, (2) Voyager.net's ability to provide superior customer
care, (3) the success of its growth strategy, (4) its ability to integrate
acquisitions successfully, (5) increasing competition from regional and national
Internet service providers and (6) general economic conditions.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

     We believe our exposure to market rate fluctuations on our investments is
nominal due to the short-term nature of these investments.  We have no material
future earnings or cash flow exposures with respect to our outstanding capital
leases, which are all at fixed rates.  To the extent we have borrowings
outstanding under our credit facility, we would have market risk relating to
those amounts because the interest rates under the credit facility are variable.
At present, we have no plans to enter into any hedging arrangements with respect
to those borrowings.
