Some of these old telco lines were originally only used for voice, and when a line is re-used the outside plant tech might just tap into a line leaving a long un-used flag or tail on the line. This was ok for voice, but for T1 or above it acts line a huge antannae and causes problems.
One way to verify this is to always run the following BERT patterns before accepting a circuit for a minimum of 3 minutes each.
