Intermedia Communications Inc.

Tampa, Florida 33619
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Intermedia Communications Inc.
(the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, in connection with the registration
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration
Statement") by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), of 2,000,000 additional shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Shares"), to be offered for sale by the
Company from time to time under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan adopted
in May 1996 (the "Plan").
We have examined the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws, both as amended, and minute books and such other
documents and records as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for
our opinions hereinafter set forth. For the purposes of this letter, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to original
documents of all instruments furnished to us for review or examination as
copies.
Based on the foregoing and having regard to such legal
considerations as we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware.
2. The Common Shares covered by the Registration Statement
have been validly authorized.
3. When (i) the Common Shares have been duly registered
under the Act, (ii) certificates for the Common Shares have been duly
delivered, and (iii) the Company has received the consideration to be received
by it pursuant to and upon exercise of the related awards under the Plan, the
Common Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the
Company, with no personal liability attaching to ownership thereof.
We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion in the
Registration Statement and to the references to this firm contained therein.
Very truly yours,
KRONISH, LIEB, WEINER
& HELLMAN LLP
