  ITEM 5:  OTHER EVENTS.
  
       On October 23, 2001, At Home Corporation ("Excite@Home" or the
  "Registrant") received notice from AT&T Broadband LLC, the wholly-owned
  subsidiary of AT&T Corp. that is the sole holder of Excite@Home's Series B
  Common Stock, that AT&T Broadband had removed C. Michael Armstrong, Frank Ianna,
  Charles H. Noski and Daniel E. Somers from the board of directors of Excite@Home
  effective as of October 1, 2001. AT&T Broadband also irrevocably relinquished
  its rights to replace these directors, and to otherwise appoint or designate
  additional directors that would constitute a majority of Excite@Home's board of
  directors. The two remaining directors elected by AT&T Broadband, Mufit Cinali
  and John C. Petrillo, will continue to serve on the board of directors.
  
       On October 23, 2001, Excite@Home announced that its Series A Common Stock
  had been delisted from the Nasdaq National Market effective following the close
  of the trading markets on Monday, October 22, 2001. The company also announced
  that its Series A Common Stock became eligible for over-the-counter trading, and
  for quotation on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board under the ticker symbol
  "ATHMQ", on Tuesday, October 23, 2001. Trading in the company's Series A Common
  Stock on the Nasdaq National Market had been halted since the company filed a
  voluntary petition for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United
  States Bankruptcy Code on September 28, 2001.
  
       Copies of the press releases announcing this information are filed as
  exhibits to this report and are incorporated into this report by reference.
