They can hear me but I can't hear them!

I see that there is a locked unresolved  discussion entitled "I can hear them but they can't hear me"

My problem has been randomly  happening for over a month now.  I called COX and they could find nothing wrong, a technician came and he couldn't find anything wrong either but decided to swap out the modem. It is still happening.   I work from home and am on the phone for a living, this is pretty important. I use a wired headset.  It still happens when I use the handset.  Doesn't that rule out the phone itself being an issue and the same for the headset?  If a problem with the modem has been ruled out, what else could it be?

I should add that the phone is connected directly to the modem.

Hi Nanette, I am detecting some issues with your modem, and I believe that sending out a service technician is the best course of action to resolve the phone issues. For additional support, please reach us on Twitter at @CoxHelp, visit us on Facebook, or at cox.help@cox.com. -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator

To be clear, the modem you are detecting a problem with is the one that was replaced 7 days ago by a technician who came to resolve my phone issues experienced on the old modem?  And, you want me to get more help via the internet?  Not a phone call?

Becky....and Kevin, if you read all that I said you would know that I did have a technician come before I wrote the first post.  Yesterday a second technician came.  Read my post to CurtB to see the details.

Hi Aiko, do you have a phone plugged in directly to the back of the modem, or is the phone plugged into wall jack? Are all phones affected, or only one phone? When was the problem first noticed? -Kevin M. Cox Support Forum Moderator

Thank you for the response. Phone is plugged into the back of the modem. I have tried using a different phone and still have the problem. I noticed about a month ago but thought it was the other party as they were on a cell phone and I figured the call just dropped.. I called customer service and they reset the modem twice and then cut me off before setting an appointment for a tech to come out. It only occurs on outgoing calls. Incoming seem to be fine.

Sorry for the late response.  I'm back here only because my problem is back.  What seemed to have been the fix was that there was some cable from the basement to where I work was insufficient for the distance it had to go.  I forget where it connected ultimately in my office...the modem?  I didn't have a problem for over a week but then it started up again.

Kevin, not sure what your role is here but as you can see from all the info I have given, technicians have come multiple times.  As for advising the forum moderator of this thread,  since you work for Cox, that sounds like it's your job, not mine.
