I've not really paid much attention to the technical side of this, but 
having turned up BGP peering with dozens of carriers and smaller ISPs in 
the past, I'd just throw it back at them and have them supply a 
functional configuration for you.

Why are you wasting your time on this? I assume you're not paying for 
the circuit yet, so put some pressure on them and make them realize that 
they can start billing when they figure out how to make the damn thing 
work for you.

They're the provider and you're the customer - Make them earn their 
contract value :)
