It depends entirely on how you're getting the service presented - there
isn't really a "native" 8M circuit type.

4 x E1 load-balanced?
4 x E1 multi-link PPP?
4 x E1 ATM IMA
8M PVC on a T3/E3/STM-1 ATM bearer?
Fractional T3/E3?
Timeslots on channelised T3/E3?
E3/T3/STM-1 clear-channel bearer, rate-limited to 8M at layer-3?
Ethernet bearer rate-limited to 8M at layer-3?
Some flavour of DSL?

And probably some more I've missed...

Regards,
Tim.
