AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, George E. Willett, President and Chief Financial Officer of High Speed Access
   Corp., certify that:

    (1)  I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of High Speed Access
         Corp. (the "Company");

    (2)  Based on my knowledge, this Quarterly Report does not contain any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
         necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the
         circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading
         with respect to the period covered by this Quarterly Report;

    (3)  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information included in this Quarterly Report, fairly present in all
         material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
         cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this
         Quarterly Report;

    (4)  I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
         and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
         15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in
         Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the Company and have:

         (a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
             disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my
             supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
             Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
             us by others within those entities, particularly during the period
             in which this Quarterly Report is being prepared;

         (b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
             such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under
             my supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
             reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
             statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
             accepted accounting principles;

         (c) evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls
             and procedures and presented in this Quarterly Report our
             conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and
             procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
             Report based on such evaluation; and

         (d) disclosed in this Quarterly Report any change in the Company's
             internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
             Company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected,
             or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's
             internal control over financial reporting, and

    (5)  I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal
         control over financial reporting, to the Company's auditors and the
         Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors:

         (a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
             or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
             reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company's ability to
             record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

         (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
             other employees who have a significant role in the Company's
             internal control over financial reporting.
