You should ask your provider, what is being handed to you.. Terminology means little....
Are you purchasing a lit circuit ? or a dark fiber / dark channel ? If it is a lit circuit, you can expect / specify the hand-off on either SMF or MM optics (SMF is more and more common). If you are getting a Dark Fiber / Dark Channel, then ask them what type of optics you need. I highly doubt that you are being sold a dark fiber / dark channel.. very likely 10g Lit circuit.. (many carriers use the term Wave to differentiate between Ethernet / MPLS circuits). Regards.
