Archer VR 1600 Modem

We're having BIG issue's with this modem in regards to dialing out on our landline. Prior to the NBN, we had ADSL2 with TPG and we had no problems withe the supplied modem, which I still have.

Over the last twelve months, we've had problems when dialing out, the phone dials the number, then all we we get is a constant loud tone tone on the line instead of the ringing tone which we should be getting. It's really frustrating when your paying BIG $$$$$$$$$$ and getting RUBBISH as a so called service. They sent out a replacement modem today, I connected it & the internet is fine. Then around 5 pm I wanted to call a friend, dialed the number and the tone appeared again instead of the ring tone.

All they do is reset the modem from their end & say thats will fix it but the next day, it occurs again. All I can say is that I'm really dsiiappointed with the lack of care from TPG with this ongoing issue.
