Intermittent broadband speed new router not solved problem

Approximately 2-3 months ago I started getting slow internet and sometimes it stopped. After  a short time it went back to normal again. I went through the system and in the end it was diagnosed as a router problem so you replaced the router, but it is still happening. It may not happen for a few hours but then it starts again. I have gone through all the checks, disconnecting any other devices, restarting router etc but it does not stop the problem. A friend who is experienced with comms explained that I should look at the router logs but it seems that at my end I cannot look at the logs, it must be restricted to Talk Talk. He is also said there was some noise on the line, not something that I had noticed. When working correctly the speed test comes in at between 12 & 14, sometimes (like this morning) it dropped to 7 and can go down to between 1 & 2. When it stops completely the speed check service cannot connect to the server. As I said this is an intermittent problem, Can you advise what I should do next to resolve the issue?

I use a desktop PC which is right beside the router so no obstruction. I have an android which is used occasionally and it happens on that device as well. My wife uses a smart phone and she gets the same problem on occasions. At present only the desktop is in use.

Great! Does the problem occur everywhere you try and use the WiFi, or just in certain parts of the house - for example upstairs, or outside the house?

I understand, Will you (and anyone who lives with you) be able to contact emergency services while your services remain impacted?

None of the above applies.

I experieced the same issue a few minutes ago, the broadband dropped out for about a minute. The speed test could not connect to the server.

Perfect! Do you have any active monitoring for life threatening health reasons which is solely dependant upon your TalkTalk Broadband or Telephone line?

For example a care alarm, lifeline, health pendant or fall detector.
