Phone line not clearing after dial up session ended with modem



Every time i disconnect from the internet my phone line does not clear.
Although i'm not online, when i pick up my phone to make a call it sounds
like the modem is still connected to the internet until i physically
disconnect the phone line from the modem. i have all new phones and the
phone company came out to check inside and outside lines and they say they
are all good. do you know what is causing this?
