FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


      CORECOMM ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF FINAL PHASE OF RECAPITALIZATION

                          Exchange offer completed

                         Nasdaq Listing Transferred

           Announces name to be changed to ATX Communications, Inc.

         New York, New York (July 1, 2002) - CoreComm Limited (NASDAQ:
COMM) and its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary CoreComm Holdco, Inc.
announced today that the Company has completed the final phase of its
recapitalization. The exchange offer for CoreComm Limited shares has been
completed and all stockholders of CoreComm Limited now own shares in
CoreComm Holdco. CoreComm Holdco owns 100% of the business operations that
CoreComm Limited formerly owned.

         In conjunction with the completion of the exchange offer, the
Nasdaq listing will be transferred immediately, and CoreComm Holdco will
begin trading on Nasdaq tomorrow, July 2, 2002. The Company will trade
under the symbol "COMMD." The "D" designation indicates that a material
transaction has occurred and is required to be appended to the Company's
ticker symbol by Nasdaq's listing rules for a period of approximately 20
trading days.

         In addition, the Company announced that it will be changing its
name to ATX Communications, Inc. The name change will become effective
within the next two weeks.

         Thomas Gravina, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We
are extremely pleased to announce the completion of our recapitalization.
The closing of the exchange offers marks the culmination of more than a
year of successful operations and corporate recapitalization efforts, and
finally gives our stockholders an opportunity to participate in the direct
ownership of the recapitalized company.

         "ATX/CoreComm is one of the few companies that has responded so
successfully to the current financial environment. In the recapitalization,
we significantly strengthened the Company's balance sheet, eliminating more
than $600 million of debt and preferred stock. By closing the public
exchange offer today, our stockholders are now able to receive their direct
interest in this recapitalized company, and obtain the value that we have
worked so hard to preserve.

         "In conjunction with the completion of this process, CoreComm
Holdco will be changing its name to ATX Communications, Inc. ATX has been a
very successful brand in the Mid-Atlantic region for nearly two decades,
and that name and heritage reflect the Company's commitment to delivering
superior products and services to our approximately 400,000 commercial and
consumer customers. ATX has already been used as the brand for our
commercial division, and ATX will now be the name of the parent company as
well. The Company will continue to market its residential services under
the CoreComm name, which has strong recognition in the Company's consumer
markets.

          "The Company is now positioned to continue its success going
forward. Over the past year, we improved our profitability by more than
$140 million annually, while growing revenues in our most profitable areas.
In the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company announced its first quarter of
EBITDA positive financial results, and the first quarter of this year saw
further significant gains in EBITDA. Based on preliminary second quarter
results, the Company currently expects continued increases in revenues and
EBITDA in the second quarter. The Company expects to become free cash flow
positive by the end of 2002.

         "Now it is time for us to focus on the future of the Company. With
all phases of our recapitalization transactions completed and our corporate
structure streamlined, management can focus on building value for all of
our constituents. With continued progress of our business plan, we believe
we can build value by continuing to capitalize on the strong demand for our
integrated voice and data products and services in the marketplace."

         The components of EBITDA as defined by the Company is revenue less
operating expenses and selling, marketing and general expenses. This
definition is consistent across the periods referred to in this release.

                 COMPLETION OF RECAPITALZATION TRANSACTIONS

         In December 2001, CoreComm Limited completed the first phase of a
recapitalization plan in which it exchanged approximately $600 million of
debt and preferred stock for approximately 87% of the equity in CoreComm
Holdco, the recapitalized company. In addition, in 2001 the Company
eliminated more than $100 million of other liabilities and future
obligations. The second phase of the recapitalization, which included an
exchange offer to the public stockholders of CoreComm Limited to receive
shares in CoreComm Holdco directly, has now been completed.

         As a result, all stockholders of CoreComm Limited now directly own
shares of CoreComm Holdco. CoreComm Holdco owns 100% of all business
operations, has approximately $600 million less debt and preferred stock
than CoreComm Limited, and has 30,000,054 shares outstanding. Prior to the
completion of the exchange offers, CoreComm Limited owned only 13% of such
businesses and had 141,655,388 shares outstanding.

         Exchange Offer Completed

         On February 8, 2002, CoreComm Holdco launched a public exchange
offer whereby it was offering shares of its common stock in exchange for
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock. CoreComm Holdco has accepted all
shares that were validly tendered in the exchange offer. The Company also
acquired all of the remaining outstanding CoreComm Limited shares that were
not tendered in the exchange offer by merging a wholly-owned subsidiary
with CoreComm Limited. As a result, CoreComm Limited has now become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CoreComm Holdco. As a result of the closing of
the exchange offer and the merger, all stockholders of CoreComm Limited now
directly own shares of CoreComm Holdco. The shares of CoreComm Holdco
common stock will be delivered promptly by the exchange agent to former
CoreComm Limited securityholders.

         Pursuant to the merger, shares of CoreComm Limited common stock
that were not tendered in the exchange offer have been converted into the
right to receive 1/38.9 of a share of CoreComm Holdco common stock.
CoreComm Holdco has instructed the exchange agent to send instructions to
all CoreComm Limited stockholders who did not tender their shares in the
exchange offer, which will explain how to exchange their shares of CoreComm
Limited common stock into CoreComm Holdco common stock, and an explanation
of their right to seek appraisal under Delaware law for their shares of
CoreComm Limited.

         Transfer of Nasdaq Listing

         As a result of the completion of these transactions, today at
approximately 2:00 P.M. Eastern standard time, Nasdaq halted trading in
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock on the Nasdaq National Market.
CoreComm Limited common stock will not reopen for trading. Nasdaq is
transferring CoreComm Limited's listing to CoreComm Holdco. It is expected
that by tomorrow, July 2, 2002, CoreComm Holdco's common stock will begin
trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "COMMD". The "D"
designation indicates that a material transaction has occurred and is
required to be appended to the Company's ticker symbol by Nasdaq's listing
rules for a period of approximately 20 trading days.

         CoreComm Holdco remains subject to the same Nasdaq continued
listing requirements as CoreComm Limited. It is expected that shares of
CoreComm Holdco will trade on the Nasdaq National Market with the same 14
market makers that previously traded shares of CoreComm Limited common
stock.
