"CTC Communications' ICN Network is Operational

WALTHAM, Mass.--April 28, 1999--CTC Communications Corp. (NASDAQ NNM:CPTL) 
announced today that its Integrated Communications Network (ICN) has 
completed alpha testing, is operational and will begin carrying beta customer 
traffic in May.

CTC has completed testing of its ICN backbone, fiber connectivity, Network 
Operations Center and fourteen of its initial twenty-two nodes. The remaining 
eight nodes are in various stages of implementation. CTC expects to launch 
commercial network service this summer utilizing all twenty-two nodes. The 
initial Network deployment will provide service within and between markets in 
each of the New England States, New York, New Jersey and Maryland. 

CTC's ICN is a certified Cisco Powered Network(TM) which includes a suite of 
Cisco networking products supporting IP, frame relay and ATM, which will 
enable CTC to provide its customers with a broad array of enhanced, value 
added, high speed packet based services. ICN Network service offerings this 
summer will include high-speed broadband ATM customer access to the ICN 
Network through CTC's PowerPath(SM). PowerPath(SM) delivers integrated 
services including long distance voice, data, video and Internet to the 
customer location utilizing a variety of underlying technologies including 
SDSL, Leased T1's and Fiber. 

Robert J. Fabbricatore, Chairman of the Board and CEO of CTC stated, "In June 
of 1998, CTC announced its plans to design and deploy the ICN Network. Today, 
the Network is operational and will soon begin carrying live customer 
traffic. The combined efforts of CTC, Cisco and International Network 
Services Inc. (INS) over this past year have resulted in a customer centric, 
state of the art, Cisco Powered Network(TM). We believe that CTC's Network 
coupled with our data expertise and customer care processes will bring 
flexible, high performance and cost effective packet based networking to our 
business customers." 

Frederic Kunzi, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of CTC stated, 
"The build-out of the ICN Network is progressing well and on schedule. CTC's 
ICN Network support infrastructure, including its Network Operations Center 
and Operations Support Systems, are operational in CTC's new Technology 
Center in Waltham, Massachusetts. CTC's fully redundant, network back up 
center in Springfield, Massachusetts will be on line and operational in May."

Steven P. Milton, President of CTC, stated, "The implementation of the ICN 
Network this summer provides us the opportunity to deliver better, faster, 
less costly, state of the art services to our customers while at the same 
time improving operating efficiencies and margins. The ICN Network represents 
another substantial milestone in our Company's growth".
