Dear Adelphia Power Link Customer,

We value your business and understand that many of you have an increasing
appetite for online content, email and all the benefits of our high-speed
internet service. We were pleased to announce last week that we will be
increasing the speeds available to our Power Link high-speed internet customers
to up to 3 megabytes-per-second downloads and up to 256 kilobytes-per-second
uploads. Your Power Link pricing will not change as a result of this service
enhancement!

To facilitate this exciting change for Power Link customers, there are some
upgrades required in the Adelphia network. While we do not expect these
changes to have an impact to the vast majority of customers, some customers may
be impacted. If you are impacted, you may experience higher than normal wait
times on the Technical Support line. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We expect to have the network upgrades complete by October 15, 2003.

Thank you in advance for your patience while we work to deliver this exciting
service enhancement.

Sincerely,

Adelphia Communications
