Circuit Disconnect doesn't mean anything by itself. Like I said this is a
normal thing depending on how the remote hangs up on their side. It
sounds more like you are having general disconnect problems... what
modems? What ComOS? What versions of ROM/flash on the client modems?
What connect speeds? etc.

I can't argue with you nor agree with you on this. *Every* circuit is
different, I don't care what CO it is coming from. I've been there and
seen it too many times. Circuits are provisioned individually. Don't get
me wrong, like I said I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, just pointing that
out.
