I'm fairly certain I was told if I was in bell Colo they would be passing me Ethernet without a CPE/nid. I'm also pretty sure they said they normally do that where possible in Colo. But I could be wrong. 

My last discussions were with wholesale.

All,

Just curious if anyone uses Bell Canada for IP transit in a colo environment and whether or not you were able to obtain a traditional cross-connect without having Bell place a managed CPE device in your cage. I can’t seem to find anyone intelligent enough to tell my any different other than “it’s never been done before” and “we need remote testing capabilities.”
