   Exhibit 99.1: Slide presentation prepared for use by CTC Communications
Group, Inc. executives for a securities analysts meeting held on May 16, 2001.

ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
On May 16, 2001, representatives of CTC Communications Group, Inc. made a
presentation at a securities analyst meeting using slides containing the
information attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. We are
furnishing the text of these slides pursuant to the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Regulation FD. This information is furnished pursuant to Item 9 of
Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of
that Section, unless we specifically incorporate it by reference in a document
filed under the Securities Act of 1934. The furnishing of these slides is not
intended to constitute a representation that such furnishing is required by
Regulation FD or that the information includes material investor information
that is not otherwise publicly available.

This Current Report contains "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we intend that such
forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created by this law.
You generally can identify these statements by our use of forward-looking words
such as "plans," "estimates," "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should,"
"anticipates" or "projected" or the negative or other variations of such terms
or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategy that involve risks and
uncertainties. We often use these types of statements when discussing our plans
and strategies, our anticipation of revenues and other operating results, and
statements regarding the development of our businesses, the markets for our
services and products, our anticipated capital expenditures, operations support
systems or changes in regulatory requirements and other statements contained in
this report regarding matters that are not historical facts. We caution you that
these forward-looking statements are only predictions and estimates regarding
future events and circumstances. We cannot assure you that we will achieve the
future results reflected in these statements.

Regulatory, legislative and judicial developments could also cause actual
results to differ materially from the future results reflected in such
forward-looking statements. You should consider all of our current and
subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements only in light of such
cautionary statements. You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements and you should understand that they represent
management's view only as of the dates we make them. All of the information in
the slides is presented as of May 16, 2001, and we do not assume any obligation
to update or revise such information in the future.
