release:

"CTC Communications Announces Converged Voice, Data and Internet Services

WALTHAM, Mass. --Sept. 7, 1999--CTC Communications Corp. (NASDAQ:CPTL) today
announced that it is currently providing customers with state-of-the art,
converged long distance voice, data and Internet services over its
PowerPath(SM) broadband customer access and Cisco powered, Integrated
Communications Network (ICN). CTC's initial ICN product set of originating
long distance voice, private line voice, Internet and frame relay data
services are in operation in various combinations over a single broadband ATM
access facility.

"Today heralds the introduction of the New World communications network",
said Bob Fabbricatore, CTC's chairman and chief executive officer. "CTC's ICN
Network is the communications infrastructure of the future. Combining voice,
data and Internet on a single high-speed broadband network provides our
customers with increased bandwidth, services flexibility and a dynamic,
efficient, cost-effective communications network. More importantly, it
provides our customers with a high-speed gateway to the future, right at
their business locations. CTC is committed to enabling its customers to excel
in the rapidly emerging Internet based world of information transfer, e-
commerce and communications".

CTC's ICN Network is currently deployed in 8 contiguous states in the
Washington DC to Boston Corridor. CTC installs Integrated Access Devices
(IADs) at its business customer locations, where voice, data and Internet
traffic is combined and delivered over broadband ATM packet lines to Cisco
ATM switches within CTC's ICN Network. Customer traffic is routed over the
ICN Network to either its on-net destination, the Internet, or to regional
gateways which enable Network to Network Interconnection (NNI) to other ATM
and frame relay data networks as well as long distance voice carriers.

"Converged voice, data and Internet services on our packet-based ICN Network
is a major milestone that is personally and professionally rewarding to me",
said Frederic Kunzi, CTC's Chief Technology Officer. "Providing converged
services is the validation of the primary capability and advantage of our
Cisco powered, ICN network. It also represents the final phase of our
customer beta testing which is nearing completion.

Mr. Kunzi continued, "We are on schedule with our ICN deployment, service
offering plans and our objective of 50 customer locations on-net in
September, and 200 by the end of 1999. CTC is fully subscribed for its 50
customer locations in September and has been signing up customers for ICN
service in the fourth quarter of 1999. As we increase the number of customer
locations on-net and move toward full production, we will continue the timely
delivery of quality products that are technically sound and operationally
efficient."
