Another to way to check would be to figure out when you start seeing
mac-addresses from the customer in the vpls tables. That will mean the
network has failed over properly. Do you know what the customer topology
looks like? They could be waiting for BGP to fail over or something else
that inherently slow. I doubt this is a problem with your mpls config,
especially if you see your lsp switch. It's hard to guess without knowing
your's or the customer's topology though.
