           Intermedia Communications Announces Third Quarter Results

    Revenue Growth Accelerates as Quarterly Revenue Jumps to $234.7 Million
               EBITDA Increases 21% Sequentially to $12.3 Million


TAMPA, FL - November 1, 1999 - Intermedia Communications Inc. (NASDAQ: ICIX)
today announced record revenue of $234.7 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1999, an increase of 8 percent sequentially.  Consolidated EBITDA increased
21 percent sequentially to $12.3 million.

"Intermedia posted stellar results in the third quarter," said David C. Ruberg,
Intermedia's president, chairman, and chief executive officer.  "We have
believed for a long time that we have assembled an unmatched set of assets to
capitalize on the growth opportunities of the 21st century, and it is rewarding
to see that we have already begun to see the financial results.  Our strength in
data, Internet, and Web hosting is complemented by our strength in voice
services, which enables us to meet the full array of customer needs today as
well as take advantage of, and drive, technological convergence."

SUMMARY OF THIRD QUARTER 1999 RESULTS

Revenue for the third quarter of $234.7 million was up 8 percent sequentially
over second quarter 1999 revenue of $217.9 million.

Consolidated EBITDA (as defined below) for the third quarter was positive $12.3
million, inclusive of negative EBITDA of $13.5 million at Digex.

"In the third quarter, we saw revenue growth accelerate to 35 percent on an
annualized basis versus 28 percent in the second quarter," said Robert M.
Manning, Intermedia's chief financial officer.  "We are driving this growth, and
the increasingly positive financial performance in our core business, through
our focus on high growth, high margin services and substantially improved
operating efficiencies."

On August 4th, Intermedia's majority-owned Digex (NASDAQ: DIGX) subsidiary
completed an initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock.  Gross proceeds
of $195.5 million were raised by issuing 18.7 percent of Digex to the public,
with Intermedia retaining 81.3 percent ownership of Digex.

REVENUE ANALYSIS

Enhanced Data and Internet Services

Enhanced Data and Internet services continued its strong growth.  Revenue for
the third quarter of 1999 was $75.7 million, an increase of 59 percent over
third quarter 1998 and an increase of 14 percent sequentially.

Revenue grew sequentially in all categories, and was led by revenue growth at
Digex, which grew 28 percent sequentially to $16.1 million in the third quarter
of 1999 versus $12.6 million in the second quarter of 1999, and was up 158
percent over the third quarter of 1998.  Frame relay and ATM revenue also grew
at double digit rates sequentially, as a function of increases in managed
services as well as nodes in service.

"Intermedia has demonstrated leadership in the data and Internet arena," said
Manning.  "Digex is the leader in the managed Web hosting and applications
outsourcing arena.  Intermedia is one of the top 3 providers of nationwide frame
relay service, and our high speed, fiber optic Internet network has been rated
number one in key areas such as download time, customer satisfaction and
security by Boardwatch magazine, Telechoice and Network Computing magazine."

Competitive Local Services

Competitive Local services continued its growth.  Revenue for the third quarter
was $61.3 million, an increase of 40 percent over third quarter of 1998 and an
increase of 11 percent sequentially.

Intermedia added 42,258 access lines in the quarter.  3,642 resale lines were
pruned, bringing the total access lines in service at the end of the period to
446,291, a 43 percent increase versus third quarter 1998.  At the end of the
third quarter, 85 percent of the lines in service were on-switch.

"Our industry leading line side product, unifiedvoice.netSM, has been eagerly
embraced by the marketplace," said Manning.  "The benefits of this product are
starting to materialize in our quarterly results and we expect further increases
going forward."

Interexchange Services

Interexchange revenue was $59.9 million in the third quarter, a 16 percent
decrease versus third quarter 1998, and down 7 percent sequentially.

"We have de-emphasized stand-alone long distance," said Manning.  "This, in
combination with industry pricing declines and our own focus on high value
customers has lead to decreased top line long distance revenue results but
improved margins."

Integration Services

Integration Services revenue for the third quarter of 1999 was $37.7 million, an
increase of 28 percent versus third quarter of 1998 and an increase of 20
percent sequentially.

OUTLOOK

"Overall, the third quarter results exceeded analyst expectations," said
Manning.  "The results speak for themselves and we expect further improvements
going forward."

"We believe our emphasis on data and Internet services will enable us to grow at
rates which are substantially better than market averages," said Manning.  "Our
assets, focus and efforts are resulting in successful execution of our business
plan."

EBITDA consists of earnings (net loss before minority interest) before interest
expense, interest and other income, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and
charges for in-process R & D and business restructuring, integration and other
charges.  EBITDA does not represent funds available for management's
discretionary use and is not intended to represent cash flow from operations.
EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss as an indicator of
the Company's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
In addition, EBITDA is not a term defined by generally accepted accounting
principles, and, as a result, the measure of EBITDA presented herein may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

(1) EBITDA consists of earnings (net loss before minority interest) before
    interest expense, interest and other income, income taxes, depreciation,
    amortization and charges for in-process R&D and business restructuring and
    integration expenses. EBITDA does not represent funds available for
    management's descretionary use and is not intended to represent cash flow
    from operations. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net
    loss as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or to cash
    flows as a measure of liquidity. In addition, EBITDA is not a term defined
    by generally accepted accounting principles, and, as a result, the measure
    of EBITDA presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled
    measures used by other companies.
(2) Amounts reflected in the table are based upon information contained in the
    Company's operating records.
(3) Includes both on-net direct connections with intermedia-owned fiber optic
    cable and on-net extended connections with leased circuits.
(4) Calculated by dividing the number of on-switch access line equivalents by
    the number of switches providing local service.
(5) Amount represents an individual point of origination and termination of data
    served by the Company's enhanced network.
