On September 25, 2001, the Registrant issued the following press
release:

CTC Expands the Reach of its Fiber Network in Massachusetts
by Adding 11 New Fiber Access Locations

-Fiber Based Customer Access to CTC's
PowerPathSM Network Substantially Increased-


Waltham, MA, September 25, 2001-CTC Communications (NASDAQ NM: CPTL)-
today announced that it has added 11 new fiber access locations in
Massachusetts. The Company now has 13 fiber access locations providing
Massachusetts' customers with lower cost, higher reliability fiber
access to its packet-based PowerPathSM Network.

The new fiber access locations are at Harrison Avenue in downtown
Boston, Cambridge, Malden, Salem, Quincy, Brockton, Fall River,
Hyannis, Lawrence, Worcester and Pittsfield. On-net customers in these
areas will utilize this high speed, fully redundant, fiber access to
CTC's PowerPathSM Network.

Existing CTC customers in these locations will be moved from currently
leased interoffice facilities to the fiber and all new network
customers will utilize this new fiber access to CTC's PowerPathSM
Network. This customer re-homing process will repeat as the Company
continues to add fiber access nodes throughout its operating area.

CTC's metropolitan and local fiber implementation is included in its
fully funded business plan and is one of the key components enabling
the Company's attainment of EBITDA positive results by year end 2001.
It reduces the Company's dependence on leased interoffice facilities,
improves provisioning intervals from approximately 90 days to 30 days
and significantly reduces network costs by minimizing leased facility
expense and improving operating efficiency.

CTC purchased both long haul and metro/suburban dark fiber under 20
year Irrefutable Right of Use (IRU) Agreements in late 2000 and 2001
from a variety of dark fiber suppliers. The Company is progressively
taking delivery of this dark fiber, "lighting it up" using Cisco
optronics and will be providing fiber access to its network in over 60
locations throughout the New England and Mid-Atlantic states by year
end 2001.

Bob Fabbricatore, CTC's Chairman and CEO stated, "Moving the power of
our packet-based PowerPathSM Network and readily available high level
bandwidth progressively closer and closer to our customer's locations
is a cornerstone of our marketing and technology plan. Owning and
operating the underlying fiber in our network provides CTC with the
tools to effectively manage network costs while keeping pace with
escalating demand for bandwidth, new applications delivery and improved
speed to market. Fiber is an all around winner and a key component of
the Company's technology mosaic that enables rapidly increasing on-
switch customers and moving to profitability".
