Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

     On June 1, 2004, ATX Communications, Inc. (the "Company") and its
subsidiaries filed their proposed joint plan of reorganization (the "Plan") and
related disclosure statement (the "Disclosure Statement") with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court").

     Bankruptcy law does not permit solicitation of acceptances of the proposed
Plan until the Bankruptcy Court approves a disclosure statement (which may or
may not be in the form of the Disclosure Statement) relating to the proposed
Plan. Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to be, nor
should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the proposed Plan.

     In accordance with general instruction B.5 of Form 8-K, this report will
not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein that
is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.
