Bell Canada IP transit - NID required?

[JASON BOTHE via NANOG <nanog () nanog org>]

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.”
