6 hereof).

Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Person into shares of Series A Common

votes per share while each share of Series A Common Stock of the Issuer and
Series K Common Stock of the Issuer is entitled to one vote per share, the
Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own equity securities of the
Issuer representing approximately 74.0% of the outstanding voting power of the
Issuer.

      This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D originally filed on March 19,
1999 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on March 30, 2000, the "Schedule 13D")
by AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") and relates to shares of Series A common stock, par value
$0.01 per share (the "Series A Common Stock"), of At Home Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("Excite@Home" or the "Issuer"). The Issuer's principal
executive offices are located at 425 Broadway Street, Redwood City, CA 94063.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, this Amendment No. 2 also relates
to the shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of the
Series B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Series B Common Stock"), of
Excite@Home. Capitalized terms used without definition in this Amendment No. 2
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
References to "herein" and "hereof" are references to the Schedule 13D, as
amended by this Amendment No. 2.

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

      Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at
the end of the third paragraph thereof:

As  a  result  of  the   Letter   Agreement   Transactions,   (1)  each  of  Cox
Communications,  Inc. ("Cox") and Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") has waived all
of its  rights  under  the  Stockholders'  Agreement  (including  its  right  to
designate at least one Series B Director), except for its rights under Article X
of the Stockholders'  Agreement  (relating to  confidentiality)  and except that
Comcast's  and Cox's rights  under  Section 4.5 of the  Stockholders'  Agreement
(relating to the right to  participate  in certain  sales of securities by other
parties to the Stockholders' Agreement) will survive until June 4, 2002, and (2)
each  of  AT&T  and   Excite@Home  has  waived  all  of  its  rights  under  the
Stockholders'  Agreement  as against  each of Cox and  Comcast,  other than with
respect to Article X of the  Stockholders'  Agreement  and,  until June 4, 2002,
Section 4.5 of the Stockholders' Agreement.

      Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended by deleting the
fourth paragraph thereof and replacing it with the following:

            Under  the  Issuer's  Fifth  Amended  and  Restated  Certificate  of
Incorporation,  as amended  (the  "@Home  Charter"),  holders of Series A Common
Stock are  entitled  to one vote for each share  held,  and  holders of Series B
Common  Stock are  entitled  to ten votes for each share  held,  on all  matters
presented to stockholders, except as otherwise provided in the @Home. Each share
of Series B Common Stock is convertible,  at the option of the holder,  into one
share  of  Series A Common  Stock.  Shares  of  Series  A Common  Stock  are not
convertible  into  shares  of  Series B  Common  Stock.  All  other  rights  and
privileges of the Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock are identical,
except  that:  (1) so long as there are at least  10,000,000  shares of Series B
Common Stock outstanding, the holders of Series B Common Stock (all of which are
held by TCI Sub, a wholly-owned  indirect subsidiary of AT&T), voting separately
as a single  series,  have the right to elect the  smallest  number of directors
(the  "Series B  Directors")  constituting  a majority  of the  entire  Board of
Directors of Excite@Home (the "Board"); and (2) so long as the holders of Series
B Common Stock are entitled to elect

                                  Page 4 of 12
<PAGE>

any Series B Directors,  the holders of Series A Common Stock, voting separately
as a single  series,  have the  right to elect  two  directors  (the  "Series  A
Directors"),  each of whom is not an officer  (other than any Vice  Chairman) or
employee of Excite@Home  and is not an affiliate or associate of AT&T Broadband,
LLC, Comcast or Cox.

ITEM 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

      Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following to
the end thereof:

            As of August 28, 2000, the conditions to the completion of the
Letter Agreement Transactions had been satisfied. On August 28, 2000,
Excite@Home amended its Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
in the manner described in clause (4) of the immediately preceding paragraph
(the "Charter Amendment") by filing a Certificate of Amendment of the Fifth
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of At Home Corporation (the
"Certificate of Amendment") with the State of Delaware.

            Also on August 28,  2000,  AT&T and  Excite@Home  entered into Share
Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange  Agreement") pursuant to which on August
29, 2000 a wholly-owned  indirect  subsidiary of AT&T surrendered to Excite@Home
55,795,578 shares of Series A Common Stock in exchange for 55,795,578 new shares
of Series B Common Stock,  which  transaction  was in satisfaction of the Letter
Agreement  Transaction  described  in clause  (5) of the  immediately  preceding
paragraph (the "AT&T  Exchange").  Also on August 28, 2000, AT&T and Excite@Home
entered into a letter agreement (the "CEO Election Letter  Agreement")  pursuant
to which AT&T agreed that as long as there are not fewer than 10,000,000  shares
of Series B Common Stock outstanding,  it shall vote all of its shares of Series
B Common  Stock in favor of the  election  of the  chief  executive  officer  of
Excite@Home to the board of directors of Excite@Home as an "Additional Director"
(as such term is defined in the @Home Charter), and not as a designee of AT&T.

            The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the text of the Share Exchange Agreement and the CEO Election
Agreement Letter Agreement which is filed as Exhibits 1 and 2 hereto and are
hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

                  It is expected that the parties will negotiate definitive
agreements providing for some of the Letter Agreement Transactions for which
definitive documentation was not previously entered into; however, with respect
to each of the Letter Agreement Transactions (other than the AT&T Exchange),
terms set forth in the term sheet that forms a part of the Letter Agreement are
the final and binding terms with respect to such matter unless and until
definitive agreements are entered into with respect thereto.

ITEM 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

      Parts (a) and (b) of Item 5 are hereby replaced in their entirety as
follows:

            (a) Based  upon  information  set forth in  Excite@Home's  Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2000,  after giving effect to
the AT&T Exchange,  there were outstanding 315,680,659 shares of Series A Common
Stock  and  86,595,578   shares  of  Series  B  Common  Stock.   AT&T  currently
beneficially  owns  7,924,422  shares  of Series A Common  Stock and  86,595,578
shares  of  Series B  Common  Stock.  As of the date  hereof  and  assuming  the
conversion  into  Series A Common  Stock of all shares of Series B Common  Stock
held by AT&T, AT&T beneficially owns an aggregate of 94,520,000 shares of Series
A Common Stock,  or  approximately  23.5% of the shares of Series A Common Stock
deemed  outstanding  (assuming such  conversion of Series B Common  Stock).  The
shares of Series A Common Stock beneficially  owned by AT&T (without  conversion
of  Series B Common  Stock)  constitute  approximately  2.5% of the  outstanding
shares  of  Series  A  Common  Stock.  The  shares  of  Series  B  Common  Stock
beneficially owned by AT&T constitute 100% of the outstanding shares of Series B
Common Stock. To the knowledge of AT&T, none of the persons listed on Schedule I
hereto  beneficially  owns any  shares of Common  Stock  other than as set forth
herein or as listed on Schedule I hereto.

            Because of the voting power attributable to the Series B Common
Stock beneficially owned by AT&T, together with the Series A Common Stock
beneficially owned by AT&T, the Common Stock beneficially owned by AT&T
constitutes approximately 74.0% of the outstanding voting power of Excite@Home.

            To the knowledge of AT&T, (1) C. Michael Armstrong, the Chairman of
the Board of Directors of AT&T and a member of the Board of Directors of
Excite@Home, beneficially owns 10,000 shares of Series A Common Stock, which
shares represent less than 1% of the shares of Series A Common Stock outstanding
as of July 31, 2000, (2) John C. Malone, a member of the Board of Directors of
AT&T, beneficially owns 14,950 shares of Series A Common Stock, which shares
represent less than 1% of the shares of Series A Common Stock outstanding as of
July 31, 2000, and (3) John C. Petrillo, an executive officer of AT&T and a
member of the Board of Directors of Excite@Home, beneficially owns 1,500 shares
of Series A Common Stock, which shares represent less than 1% of the shares of
Series A Common Stock outstanding as of July 31, 2000.

            (b) To the extent the Stockholders (as defined in Item 6 hereof) are
considered  to be a "group" for purposes of Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act, each
Stockholder may be deemed to have shared voting and  dispositive  power over the
shares  owned by each  other  Stockholder.  Based on  information  contained  in
Excite@Home's  proxy  statement  for its 2000  Annual  Meeting of  Stockholders,
Cablevision  Systems  Corporation  ("Cablevision")  beneficially owns 21,893,872
shares of Series A Common  Stock  (represented  by  warrants  to  purchase  such
shares),  Comcast  beneficially owns 31,118,924 shares of Series A Common Stock,
Cox  beneficially  owns  29,114,600  shares  of  Series A Common  Stock and KPCB
beneficially  owns  no  shares  of  Common  Stock.  To  the  extent  that  AT&T,
Cablevision,  Comcast,  Cox and KPCB are considered to be a

                                  Page 6 of 12
<PAGE>

"group" for purposes of this  Schedule  13D, and  assuming the  conversion  into
Series A Common Stock of all shares of Series B Common Stock  beneficially owned
by AT&T,  and the  exercise by  Cablevision  of its  warrants,  such group would
beneficially own an aggregate of 176,647,396 shares of Series A Common Stock, or
approximately 41.6% of all shares of Series A Common Stock deemed outstanding.

            To the knowledge of AT&T, each of Mr. Armstrong, Dr. Malone and
Mr. Petrillo has the sole power to vote, or to direct the voting of, the
shares of Series A Common Stock beneficially owned by him.  To the knowledge
of AT&T, each of Mr. Armstrong, Dr. Malone and Mr. Petrillo has the sole
power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, the shares of Series A
Common Stock beneficially owned by him.

      Part (d) of Item 5 are hereby amended by replacing the second paragraph
thereof in its entirety as follows:

            To the knowledge of AT&T, there is no person that has the right
to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the
proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Series A Common Stock owned by any
of Mr. Armstrong, Dr. Malone or Mr. Petrillo.



ITEM 6.     CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
            RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

      Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting the thirteenth
through twenty-first paragraphs thereof.

            Under the @Home Charter (as amended by the Certificate of
Amendment), holders of Series A Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each
share held, and holders of Series B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes for
each share held, on all matters presented to stockholders, except as otherwise
provided in the @Home Charter. Each share of Series B Common Stock is
convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Series A Common
Stock. Shares of Series A Common Stock are not convertible into shares of Series
B Common Stock. All other rights and privileges of the Series A Common Stock and
Series B Common Stock are identical, except that: (1) so long as there are at
least 10,000,000 shares of Series B Common Stock outstanding, the holders of
Series B Common Stock (all of which are held by TCI Sub, which is a wholly-owned
indirect subsidiary of AT&T), voting separately as a single series, have the
right to elect as Series B Directors the smallest number of directors
constituting a majority of the entire Board, and (2) so long as the holders of
Series B Common Stock are entitled to elect any Series B Directors, the holders
of Series A Common Stock, voting separately as a single series, have the right
to elect two directors, each of whom is not an officer (other than any Vice
Chairman) or employee of Excite@Home and is not an affiliate or associate of
AT&T Broadband, LLC, Comcast or Cox.

            The foregoing descriptions of the Stockholders' Agreement (as
modified by the Cablevision Letter Agreement) and the @Home Charter (as amended
by the

                                  Page 7 of 12
<PAGE>

Certificate of Amendment) are qualified in their entirety by reference to
the text of such documents, which are filed as Exhibits hereto and are hereby
incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.

            As a result of the voting power associated with the shares of Common
Stock held by TCI Sub and TCI Sub's rights, as the sole holder of the Series B
Common Stock, under the @Home Charter, AT&T, through TCI Sub, may be deemed to
control Excite@Home

      Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by incorporating and
repeating at the end thereof the responses to Items 1 and 3 set forth above in
this Amendment No. 2.

ITEM 7.     MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

1.          Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of August 28, 2000, between
            AT&T Corp. and At Home Corporation.
