FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

               CORECOMM LIMITED AND CORECOMM HOLDCO ANNOUNCE
              EXTENSION OF EXPIRATION DATE FOR EXCHANGE OFFERS

         New York, New York (April 8, 2002) - CoreComm Limited (Nasdaq:
COMM) and its formerly wholly-owned subsidiary CoreComm Holdco, Inc.
announced today the extension of the expiration date of the registered
public exchange offers by CoreComm Holdco until 5:00 P.M., New York City
time, on May 8, 2002, unless CoreComm Holdco terminates the exchange offers
or extends the expiration date. The exchange offers were previously
scheduled to expire at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on April 8, 2002.
This is the second extension of the exchange offers. CoreComm Holdco is
extending the registered public exchange offers because it is still in the
process of addressing comments received from the Securities and Exchange
Commission with respect to the Form S-4 previously filed in connection with
the exchange offers. In addition, CoreComm Limited announced today that it
had filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.

         In the exchange offers, the holders of CoreComm Limited securities
are being asked to tender: (1) each share of CoreComm Limited common stock
they hold for 1/116.7 of a share of common stock of CoreComm Holdco
(subject to rounding); and (2) each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of
CoreComm Limited's 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes they hold, for 3.0349
shares of common stock of CoreComm Holdco (subject to rounding) and $30 in
cash.

         Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary for the
exchange offers, has advised CoreComm Holdco that approximately 92,415,056
shares of CoreComm Limited common stock (approximately 65.2% of the
outstanding shares) and $292,000 aggregate principal amount of CoreComm
Limited's 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes (approximately 6.1% of the
outstanding principal amount not held by CoreComm Holdco) have been
tendered and not withdrawn as of 4:30 P.M., New York City time, on April 8,
2002, in response to the exchange offers. The exchange offers are subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the preliminary prospectus, dated
February 8, 2002, and the related letters of transmittal, which constitute
the exchange offers. Investors are encouraged to read the information
regarding the exchange offers at the end of this release, which describes
where you can get more information.

                                  *******

         The foregoing reference to the exchange offers shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor
shall there be any sale of shares of common stock of CoreComm Holdco in any
state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
