"CTC Communications Signs $8 Million Contract with Accelerated Networks

MOORPARK, Calif.--Sept. 13, 1999-- CTC Communications Corp. (Nasdaq:CPTL) and
Accelerated Networks Monday announced the signing of an $8 million contract
for CTC's purchase of Accelerated Networks' Integrated Access Devices (IADs)
and Multi-Service Access Platforms (MSAPs).

CTC is currently deploying Accelerated's IADs and MSAPs as part of its Cisco
Powered Integrated Communications Network (ICN) and its PowerPath(SM)
broadband customer access service.

CTC utilizes Accelerated Networks' IADs at customer locations, as an integral
part of CTC's PowerPath(SM) broadband customer access, for delivering
converged voice and data services to business customers over digital
broadband access facilities.

Accelerated's MSAPs are utilized in CTC's regional POPs and supply GR-303
voice gateway functionality to CTC's ICN Network voice calls, linking CTC
customers to the upstream long-distance network.

Accelerated's equipment is being installed at CTC's business customer
locations, where voice and data traffic is integrated and delivered over
high-speed ATM packet lines to Cisco ATM switches within CTC's ICN Network.

Traffic is routed over the ICN Network to either its on-net destination or to
regional POPs, where gateway functionality facilitates Network to Network
Interface (NNI) to other ATM and frame relay data networks, the Internet and
long-distance voice carriers.

"Building an access network infrastructure that combines toll-quality voice
and high-speed data traffic over a single facility is a strong competitive
move," observed Jennifer Pigg, senior vice president of data communications
at Yankee Group.

"By enabling integrated multi-service delivery to the customer's premises
with the Accelerated Networks solution, CTC will be able to extend to its
customers a flexible, manageable, cost effective solution."

CTC is currently in the process of completing beta customer testing of its
ICN Network and will have 50 customer locations on-net in September and 200
by the end of 1999. CTC's PowerPath(SM) will provide high-speed broadband ATM
customer access between the ICN Network and these customer locations.

CTC's 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 T1s and fiber. CTC operates
regional POPs in each of the New England states, New York, New Jersey and
Maryland.


"The addition of Accelerated's integrated broadband access equipment to our
network architecture provides the final pieces for an overall end-to-end
multi-service deployment," said Frederic Kunzi, vice president and chief
technology officer at CTC.

"We are on track with our deployment and services offering plans and have
customer contracts in hand for our September ramp up. As we increase the
number of customer locations on-net and move toward full production,
Accelerated Networks will continue to meet our requirements with timely
delivery of quality products that contribute to keeping our service quality
high and our operational and provisioning costs to a minimum."

Suresh Nihalani, president and chief executive officer of Accelerated
Networks, stated, "CTC's implementation of our solution underscores our
commitment to building flexible, standards-based access products.

"By providing both the access and long-distance voice gateway components to
CTC's network, we support their existing infrastructure while allowing them
to deliver revenue-generating services within an attractive cost model."

2.  On September 29, 1999, the Registrant issued the following press
release:

"Demand for CTC Communications' $100-Million, Cisco-Powered 'Integrated
Communications Network' (ICN) Proceeds at Record Pace; Phase I of CTC's
Managed Rollout of ICN and PowerPath(SM) Ahead of Schedule; Phase II to Begin
in January 2000--

WALTHAM, Mass., Sept. 29 -- CTC Communications (Nasdaq: CPTL) -- a rapidly
growing provider of state-of-the-art integrated communications solutions for
medium-to-large enterprises in the Northeast U.S. -- today announced that
customer demand for its recently completed, certified Cisco (Nasdaq: CSCO)
Powered Network(TM) is proceeding at a record pace.

CTC's "Integrated Communications Network," or ICN, successfully completed all
aspects of beta testing in early September. The company is now implementing a
managed commercial roll-out through the end of 1999, at which point it will
shift into full commercial production in the year 2000. Currently, 50 major
business locations are "live" on the ICN and CTC is on target for that number
to reach 200 by December 1999, and 2,400 by December 2000. Current customer
demand for the network exceeds the planned ramp-up schedule.

The ICN -- which is a fully integrated end-to-end network service --
initially is comprised of 22 Cisco-powered hub locations, providing service
within and between markets in each of the New England States, New York and
New Jersey. It is powered by a suite of Cisco networking products, including


IP, frame relay and ATM, thus enabling CTC to deliver converged, value-added,
high-speed Internet, data, video and long distance voice services to its
customer base. The ICN currently represents a $35 million capital investment
by CTC and it is anticipated that a success-based expansion of the network
totaling an additional $65 million will be implemented over the next two
years.

The "last mile" of the network to the customer premise is a wholly unique
delivery platform developed exclusively by CTC. Called PowerPath(SM), it
provides high-speed broadband access right to the customer's locations. In
this way, CTC is able to deliver a full portfolio of integrated
communications offerings directly to the customer location utilizing the
latest underlying technologies, including SDSL, T1 lines, fiber and wireless.
CTC works in a consultative approach with its customers to help them select
that "fabric" which best addresses their specific needs.

In making today's announcement, Robert J. Fabbricatore, Chairman of the Board
and CEO of CTC stated, "Customer response to the ICN Network has been
exceptional. Our customers want to get on the network for a number of
reasons. First, they reduce their networking costs by consolidating services
on our PowerPath(SM) broadband access facility. Secondly, the normal order
activity for adds, moves and changes are accomplished swiftly and easily
through bandwidth assignment on that same access facility, rather than
ordering new. And finally, our customers are data savvy and understand
emerging technologies and applications. It is not lost on them that CTC's ICN
Network places a broadband gateway right at their business locations. They
recognize that this is their gateway to the future of packet-based local
services, IP voice and IP fiber."

"To address the current and future needs of our customers," Mr. Fabbricatore
continued, "CTC has partnered with Cisco, the leading developer of networking
hardware and software, and is investing $100 million in the ICN. Our goal is
to deliver the most robust network of its kind - anywhere: a single source
solution to meet all the communication needs of our customers, and to
position them to excel in the emerging world of web-based communications,
information and e-commerce. Our ICN Network enables us to provide our
business customers with quality of service, flexibility and economies that
are second to none." Currently CTC has more than 10,000 business customers;
and the company has achieved an industry-leading client retention rate in
excess of 99 percent.
