Re: Bell Canada IP transit - NID required?
Depending on the Colo... It is generally a fiber for everyone. But Bell being Bell (wink wink) I'm sure they made this extra and for no reason at all. - Alain Hebertaheb...@pubnix.net PubNIX Inc. 50 boul. St-Charles P.O.

+1 to using their wholesale platform to accomplish this, either via an account rep or WSS portal.

Re: Bell Canada IP transit - NID required?
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. --john On Sat, Sep 8, 2018, 7:26 PM JASON BOTHE via NANOG wrote: > > 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.” > > J~

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.

Re: Bell Canada IP transit - NID required?
I've requested many times 1G/10G EI circuits without CPEs and even had Settlement based peering from AS577 delivered on an EVC on a CPE-less ENNI so they definitely be flexible. This was with Bell wholesale thought. If you deal with retail, your experience may vary...

Bell Canada IP transit - NID required?
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.” J~
