Item 5.  Other Events

On September 20, 2001, the Registrant issued the following press release:

CTC Introduces its On-Net Dial Tone Voice Service Offerings in New
Hampshire

-CTC Packet Based Dial Tone and Voice Services Now Available to all New
Hampshire Customers-
Waltham, MA, September 20, 2001-CTC Communications (NASDAQ NM: CPTL)-
announced that it has successfully completed all required interconnection
and obtained the certifications necessary to offer on-net dial tone and
voice services in New Hampshire. The Company is now offering these
services on a commercial basis to New Hampshire customers.

New Hampshire is the third marketplace where CTC is offering packet-based
dial tone and voice services. The Company will progressively implement
these services, on an area by area basis, across its Northeast and Mid-
Atlantic states operating area. New Hampshire will be followed by Rhode
Island, Maine and New York with the remaining states anticipated to
complete progressively through the first quarter 2002.

Dial tone, local voice services and switched long distance services are
provided on the Company's packet based PowerPathSM Network utilizing a
softswitch. The softswitch processes and connects voice calls within the
PowerPathSM Network as well between the PowerPathSM Network and the Public
Switched Telephone Network. On-net customers can place and receive voice
calls to and from any person served by any carrier in the world, whether
located next door or continents away. The Company currently has over 100
customers utilizing softswitch based voice services.

Robert Fabbricatore, CTC's Chairman and CEO stated, "CTC currently
provides dedicated long distance voice, data and Internet services to
customers on its PowerPathSM network, which represents about half of our
customer's telecommunications spend. As we progressively implement on-net
dial tone local voice services across our operating area, 100% of our
resale customer telecommunications spend becomes eligible to move to our
network at a 50% plus, incremental margin to the Company. Although on-net
dial tone local voice services are not necessary for the Company to attain
positive EBITDA in this year's December quarter, they are a major on-net
revenue and margin opportunity which will grow progressively as we make
these services available across our operating area. Local dial tone voice
services are the final step in our business plan and establish our packet-
based network as a lower cost, 100% replacement for today's legacy voice,
data and hybrid networks."

About CTC Communications
CTC is a rapidly growing "next generation" Integrated Communications
Carrier utilizing advanced technology and providing its customers with

based network. The Company serves medium and larger business customers

The statements in this press release that relate to future plans, events
or performance are forward-looking statements that involve risk and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those reflected in the forward-looking statements including dial tone
local voice services implementation, the attainment of EBITDA positive
results, improved margins and existing resale customer movement to the
network. Readers are, accordingly, cautioned not to place undue reliance
on these forward-looking statements. Additional information about these
risks and uncertainties is set forth in the Company's most recent report
on Forms 10-K and 10Q. CTC undertakes no obligation to release publicly
the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may
be made to reflect results, events or circumstances after the date hereof.
