Exhibit 99.1

                                CORECOMM LIMITED
                       UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

     In May 1999,  we acquired  MegsINet  Inc.  in exchange  for cash and common
stock and acquired  certain assets of USN  Communications,  Inc. in exchange for
cash and warrants to purchase  common stock.  In September 2000, we acquired ATX
in exchange for cash, notes, convertible preferred stock and common stock and we
acquired  Voyager in exchange for cash and common stock. The unaudited pro forma
financial data  presented  below gives effect to the completed  acquisitions  of
MegsINet, USN, ATX and Voyager.

     The  pro  forma  financial  data  is  based  on  our  historical  financial
statements and the  historical  financial  statements of MegsINet,  USN, ATX and
Voyager. We are treated as the acquiring company for purposes of these pro forma
financial data.  Certain amounts in these historical  financial  statements have
been reclassified to conform to our presentation.

     We expect to incur  negative  cash flow from  operations  at least until we
establish  an  adequate  customer  base  for our  services.  We will  require  a
significant amount of cash to develop our business, fund our capital commitments
and service our indebtedness and other obligations. We expect to be able to meet
our cash requirements through December 31, 2001 with cash and securities on hand
of  approximately  $40.0 million as of September 30, 2000,  the remaining  $75.0
million  commitment  under our $150.0 million  senior  secured  credit  facility
provided by The Chase  Manhattan Bank and the $50.0 million  available under our
commitment for a senior  unsecured credit facility from The Chase Manhattan Bank
and Chase  Securities  Inc. The $125.0 million in additional  financing  remains
subject  to various  conditions,  including,  but not  limited  to, the  ongoing
satisfaction  of financial  covenants  related to the Company's  operations.  In
addition,  the $50.0 million senior  unsecured credit facility is available only
on or after January 31, 2001. Thus, we have to manage our cash and securities on
hand to ensure they are adequate to meet our cash requirements until the amounts
committed under the two facilities become available.  In general, we cannot give
any  assurance  that we will have  sufficient  resources  available  to meet our
expected cash requirements and obligations.

     The  MegsINet  and USN  acquisitions  have  been  accounted  for  using the
purchase  method of  accounting,  in which the assets  acquired and  liabilities
assumed  have  been  recorded  at  their  fair  values.   The  ATX  and  Voyager
acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, in
which the assets  acquired and  liabilities  assumed have been recorded at their
estimated  fair values.  We are unaware of events other than those  disclosed in
the  notes to the  unaudited  pro forma  financial  data  that  would  require a
material change to the preliminary  purchase price allocation.  However, a final
determination of necessary purchase accounting adjustments will be made upon the
completion  of a study to be  undertaken  to determine the fair value of certain
assets and  liabilities,  including  intangible  assets.  The  actual  financial
position and results of operations will differ, perhaps significantly,  from the
unaudited pro forma amounts reflected in this prospectus because of a variety of
factors,  including  access  to  additional  information,  changes  in value not
currently  identified and changes in operating  results between the dates of the
unaudited pro forma financial data and the dates on which the acquisitions  take
place.

     The unaudited  pro forma  condensed  statements  of operations  for the six
months  ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended  December 31, 1999 give effect to
the MegsINet,  USN, ATX and Voyager acquisitions as if they had been consummated
on January 1, 1999. The unaudited pro forma condensed  balance sheet at June 30,
2000  give  the  effect  to the ATX and  Voyager  mergers  as if they  had  been
consummated on June 30, 2000.

     ATX provided for bonuses and certain  other  compensation  to its partners.
Upon the merger with CoreComm,  the  compensation  of these  individuals  either
ceased or has been reduced to be more  consistent  with  compensation  levels of
other  members of  management.  Approximately  $4.2  million and $8.5 million of
expense in the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and the year ended  December  31,
1999, respectively, would not have been incurred had the merger been consummated
on January 1, 1999.

     The  pro  forma  adjustments  are  based  upon  available  information  and
assumptions  that we believe were  reasonable  at the time made. We believe that
any variations from the available  information and assumptions  applied will not
have a material effect on the pro forma financial data presented.  The unaudited
pro forma  condensed  statements  of  operations  do not  purport to present our
results of operations had the acquisitions occurred on the dates specified,  nor
are  they  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  of  operations  that may be
achieved  in the  future.  The  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed  statements  of
operations  do not  reflect  any  adjustments  for  synergies  that we expect to
realize. We cannot assure you as to the amounts of, or that any, cost savings or
revenue enhancements will be realized.

     A significant  component of the revenues  included in the pro forma results
is the  historical  revenues  of USN from  January 1, 1999  through  the date we
acquired the  wireline  assets of USN.  Although  USN quickly  developed a large
customer list and revenue base in 1997 and 1998, it had  difficulties  under its
previous  management  providing services,  including billing,  customer care and
other  operational  areas,  and filed for bankruptcy in February 1999. Since the
acquisition,  we have been focusing on improving these operations, and have been
successful  in  many  areas.  However,  we did  not  actively  continue  to sell
additional  lines in these markets  because we were not fully satisfied with the
quality of the operations.  Consequently, and consistent with our due diligence,
transaction  structure  and purchase  price,  revenues  associated  with the USN
assets  have  declined  significantly  since  the  acquisition,  and  additional
declines may continue as customers leave or "churn" off the service. However, we
anticipate  that the future  operating  results derived from the USN assets will
improve,  although we have no way of assuring this.  Please refer to the section
entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

     The unaudited pro forma financial  statements should be read in conjunction
with our  financial  statements  and  related  notes,  and  with  the  financial
statements  and  related  notes  of USN,  MegsINet,  ATX and  Voyager  appearing
elsewhere in this prospectus.
