  ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS
  
            On December 18, 1998, At Home Corporation (the "Company") issued a
  press release announcing its intention to raise approximately $200 million
  (excluding the proceeds of any over-allotment option) through a private offering
  of convertible subordinated debentures within the United States to qualified
  institutional buyers.  A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and
  incorporated herein by reference.
  
            On December 28, 1998, the Company closed the private offering and
  issued $437,000,000 principal amount of Convertible Subordinated Debentures due
  2018 (the "Debentures").  The issue price of each Debenture was $524.64 (52.464%
  of principal amount at maturity), and the Company raised approximately $222.0
  million of net proceeds from the offering.  Each Debenture is convertible at the
  option of the holder at any time or prior to maturity, unless redeemed or
  otherwise purchased into 6.55 shares of the Company's Series A Common Stock.
  
            The Debentures mature on December 28, 2018.  Interest on the
  Debentures at the rate of .5246% per annum on the principal amount due at
  maturity is payable semiannually in arrears on June 28 and December 28 of each
  year, commencing June 28, 1999.  This rate of cash interest and accrual of
  original issue discount on the Debentures represent a yield to maturity of 4%
  per annum (computed on a semiannual bond equivalent basis) calculated from
  December 28, 1998.
