Excite Creditors Seek Termination Of Cable Service

NEW YORK — A committee composed of Excite@Home Corp.’s largest creditors is asking a bankruptcy court to force the Internet company to stop providing service to its cable customers, in an attempt to get a better price for its assets, Monday’s Wall Street Journal reported.

In a filing late Friday with U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District in San Francisco, the committee said Excite@Home (ATHMQ) should “refuse to provide service unless the cable companies agree to much better terms or buy the company for a price acceptable to creditors.”
