Phone Line Going Out
I work from home and log into Avaya to use the phone & get paid. Since mid October at random times throughout the day, the open phone line will go to a fast busy signal. I have to sign out of Avaya (not getting paid) and if I'm lucky, I can just log back in. About 1/2 the time I'm not lucky and have to reset the modem completely (again, not getting paid).
I called tech support and they've tried a few things including sending out a new modem this past weekend. All was great until today when it happened again.
Has anyone had this happen before and if so, how was it resolved?
How do I get to an upper tech person? I have called numerous time and don't want to speak w/an entry level tech, they haven't solved it.

At the voice prompt say tech support. I'm assuming you're talking about a true VoIP set up. Does your modem go down? If no it could be the options or it could be on the far end.

Actually, it is not VoIP, it's an actual phone line with a dial tone. Antiquated yes but that's what the company wants. The modem does not go down at all.

You log into Avaya, but you're talking on a plain old telephone line. Yet your phone cuts you off and won't come back until you reestablish contact with the Avaya site. So, just who are you talking to? What's common between your phone and where you're logged in? What Internet service are you using? If it's anything other than DSL the only relationship between your phone and Internet connection is Avaya. So you've said you have a POTS line, now tell us what you have for Internet service.

I have my internet through AT&T.
During my regular working hours, I'm talking to customers on the phone. Right now I'm testing so I'm gated not to take calls, just as open line clocking my time to get paid.
Yesterday I lost Avaya at 3:34, today it was at 12:30. All the lights on the modem stay green, all services turned off of the phone line, voice mail, call waiting, etc.
It literally just goes to a fast busy signal.

So what Internet service do you have? DSL? High speed totally indepent of the phone? What does gated not to take calls mean? Does that mean Avaya controls whether or not your phone can take calls and if so how? Need better, more specific answers to help you figure out what's going on.
Check your bill it should tell you what your Internet service is. Is your phone plugged into the modem? Yes or no
