              INTERMEDIA CONSUMMATES ACQUISITION OF NATIONAL TEL
              --------------------------------------------------
                    Adds 11,000 Florida Business Customers

Tampa, Florida (April 30, 1998) -- Intermedia Communications (Nasdaq: ICIX)
today announced that it has consummated the acquisition of privately held
National Telecommunications of Florida ("National Tel"), an emerging
switch-based competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) an established
interexchange carrier, for approximately $151 million in stock and cash.

National Tel had annualized first quarter 1998 revenue of $71.6 million.
Intermedia adds National Tel's 11,000 business customers in Florida to its
existing position in the state and plans to cross sell its full range of voice
and data services to these new customers. National Tel adds 34 quota carrying
sales professionals, bringing Intermedia's total to over 550. With the
inclusion of National Tel, Intermedia becomes the fourth largest provider of
local exchange services in Florida based on access lines, exceeded only by
BellSouth, GTE, and Sprint.

The $151 million purchase consideration consists of a combination of
approximately $59 million in cash, $3 million of debt repayment, and $89
million of Intermedia common stock, or approximately 1.5 million shares. "We
are pleased to have completed this transaction, and we welcome all of National
Tel's customers to Intermedia," commented David C. Ruberg, Intermedia's
chairman, president, and chief executive officer. "The Mansour brothers, who
founded National Tel, have built an excellent business, establishing a
customer base that fits extremely well with Intermedia's strategy and network
deployment. National Tel has demonstrated marketing and sales skills that will
enhance our efforts in the interexchange business."

"National Tel's results will be incorporated into Intermedia's second
quarter," commented Rob Manning, Intermedia's chief financial officer. "Their
results will be accretive to our second quarter and full year 1998
performance, comprising an important component of the year's business."

The Company reported that the acquisition includes its 20th local/long
distance switch, a DMS500 located in an Intermedia-connected facility in
Orlando. This switch will be utilized to accommodate the ongoing rapid growth
of local exchange customers in the Orlando area and optimize traffic flow in
the region.
