1.  May 11, 1999 Press Release

"CTC Communications Enters ISP Market

WALTHAM, Mass.--May 11, 1999--CTC Communications Corp. (NASDAQ NNM:CPTL) 
announced today that it will enter the Internet Services Providers (ISP) 
Market in the New England States, New York, New Jersey and Maryland this 
summer. 

CTC will provide Internet access services to its customers as part of its 
PowerPath(SM) broadband ATM access service. CTC's ICN Network will carry 
PowerPath(SM) originated Internet traffic to ICN gateways in Boston and New 
York, that have high speed IP backbone connectivity directly to the Internet. 

CTC has signed an agreement with Level 3 for the high-speed backbone between 
CTC's ICN Network gateways and the Level 3 Internet Network Access point 
(NAP). Implementation of the ICN Network gateways and the Level 3 NAP access 
is underway and ISP access will be one of CTC's initial network service 
offerings late this summer. 

Robert J. Fabbricatore, Chairman of the Board and CEO of CTC stated, "The ISP 
market is an integral part of our network strategy which leverages the 
inherent capabilities and attributes of CTC's Cisco Powered, ICN Network. The 
characteristics and design of the ICN Network facilitate CTC's ISP market 
entry at reasonable cost and direct connectivity to the Internet will provide 
our customers with improved Internet performance. CTC's ISP interconnection 
agreement with Level 3 is a further extension of our current agreement and 
further compliments the network strategies of each company." 

Frederic Kunzi, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of CTC stated, 
"Entering the ISP market is part of our strategy to evolve to a full IP 
centric service provider. Through its agreement with Level 3, CTC's Internet 
gateways in Boston and New York will provide dedicated, diversely routed DS-
3, IP backbone connectivity to the Internet NAP. CTC's ISP Internet service 
design, utilizing PowerPathSM broadband customer access, the ICN Network and 
direct gateway connectivity to the NAP, enable the routing of Internet 
traffic on a bilateral and equitable basis. This means that a customer in 
Bangor Maine or in the eastern tip of Long Island will receive the same 
performance and quality of service as customers in Boston or Manhattan. CTC's 
ISP Internet access, domain registration and management services will be part 
of CTC's initial network service offerings late this summer."
