Well, I was actually talking about 100BaseTX ports, not SFP ports like
the subject.

However, in my case, it is AT&T (former BellSouth) copper metroE
connections where they use a Canoga box.  They only provision them with
autonegotiation disabled.  We also just got a metroE from Charter Cable
(I don't know what the box is) and they made sure we disabled autoneg
because that's the only way the configure their equipment (which beats
AT&T; we had to find out on our own that they disable autoneg).  IIRC a
Knology Cable metroE was the same way.

These are 10 and 100 meg metroE connections; I don't know what these
companies do for gigE.
