The CSU/DSU/Smartjack (whatever it's called on T1s) is telling you
"there is something broken on the network side of me".

AIS is an alarm signal that tells you "the local connection is fine,
but somewhere further out, it isn't".

Carriers should be able to see this themselves, but usually it takes
some pushing for them to realize "oh, you're saying it's *my* device
that signals an alarm to you?  then we need to check again!"...
