Depending on the Colo...  It is generally a fiber for everyone.

We used to have a GigE transit port terminated on CO connecting links inside one of their COs long ago.  No CPE.  They may have changed their policy since then.

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.”
