Item 5.  Other Events

On July 3, 2001, the Registrant issued the following press release:

- -CTC Continues on Plan with Preliminary Estimates of Record June Quarter
Earnings Results-

Waltham, MA, July 3, 2001-CTC Communications (NASDAQ NM: CPTL)- today
announced preliminary estimates of certain results from its June quarter,
reaffirmed that the Company is on plan to attain EBITDA positive results by
year end 2001 and that it continues to execute its fully funded business
plan.

Based on preliminary June quarter information, the Company estimates revenues
will be in excess of $74 million, margin as a percent of revenue will be
greater than 19.5%, SG&A as a percent of revenue will be less than 28% and
EBITDA losses will be less than $6.5 million. Additionally, the Company
estimates the quarter will close with over 533,000 access lines in service
and over 3,400 Customer locations on-switch.

"This is the quarter where our marketing and technology investments come to
bear in fueling margin acceleration, EBITDA positive results by year end 2001
and net income profitability within the subsequent 12 to 18 months", stated
Bob Fabbricatore, CTC's Chairman and CEO. "During this quarter we passed the
500,000 access lines in service milestone, began accepting delivery of our
local fiber, completed construction of our advanced technology Data Center,
added over 950 additional customer locations to the network and began the
expansion of our on-switch, packet-based, local dial tone services to our
second major market, eastern Massachusetts. On the business management side
we broke through the 30% SG&A milestone, continued to prudently manage our
cash and strengthened our fully funded business plan status. I am very much
looking forward to publishing our final June quarter earnings results and our
investor conference call later this month."
