[AusNOG] Monitoring ULL drops on AAPT MBE connections

[Andrew Jones]

AAPT do have an option when you order a service of shutting down the 
ethernet on MBE degradation. It would be nice if there was an option to 
flag a problem with the service in frontier, or at least be able to see 
the line stats, like you can for ADSL services.
