Another possibility is the speed in which the central office(s)
processes disconnected calls.  It works something like this:  

When someone call our number and decides to hangup before the
connection is answered, the orginating central office starts
"tearing" the call down, but not until our central office has rang
our line at least once.

Good luck,
