WAN DHCP Client Stopped issue

My internet keeps on getting disconnected for the past one week. I have called the support and they have raised a case. The issue still continues to arise. It's happening very frequently as mentioned in the log below.  I have restarted it several times, reset it multiple times, changed the power cable to a different socket. They sent me a new router which has obviously not solved the issue . I am exhausted from calling the call center or starting a chat because the question asked are basic.

 

Any suggestion's on how to get this fixed would be very helpful.

I’ve had the same issue in the past week or so, with the logs showing the same thing. I haven’t had much luck with support through the live chat.

I'm sorry to hear that you're thinking of leaving, line test is picking up a potential issue so we can arrange an engineer visit, would you like us to do this? We'll just need to confirm some details with you

I tried connecting via the phone socket but it didn't change anything still there were disconnections.  Monday morning the disconnections become worse than ever and the logs for that have been pasted below.
Unfortunately I don't have the patience or the time any more to follow up on this troubleshooting where it seems I am only person interested in fixing the issue. I have raised a request to cancel my TalkTalk contract.
It's shame because I thought someone would take up this issue as a priority because it's been happening for month but all I ever got was standard responses over and over when there was clearly an issue with the line.

Hi baskarrg,

 

I'm sorry, we don't have master socket faceplates to send out. Do you just have the one telephone socket in your home? Are you experiencing any problems with your telephone service, any noise on the line?

It's the open reach master socket 5C. I had a day off, so I went to the nearby screw fix to find if they had a replacement. They didn't have one.   If somebody can send me the master socket 5c I can try replacing it and give it a go. I have attached an image of the master socket

Hi baskarrg

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

Would it be possible to post a photo of your master socket on this thread.

I changed the router, tried different power sockets and changed all the cables.  Luckily I was off work today, so I didn't face any awkward interruptions, but I could still see disconnections today.  The master socket is the one which has not been replaced, but I am not sure if that's an issue. This is not the first time an issue like this has occurred, so there should be a reference to previous issues on how this could be fixed.

Hi baskarrg

 

I'm really sorry to hear this.

 

I can see re connections on the line. If you have tested with a different router, filter and cable at the test socket then we would need to arrange another engineer visit, apologies for this.

The issue is still happening. Below are the logs for today's disconnections which exactly happen during working hours. The engineer said the issue was with the filter because there was no dial tone, but that doesn't seem to be the issue.  I have changed the filter before which came with a router, but apparently, that's the issue which was identified but that's not the case. Not sure where do we go from here.

Morning,

 

I'm really sorry to hear this. I've run a test on the line now which is clear. Is this still happening since your last post? Did the engineer previously make any changes to resolve this?

 

Thanks

 

Michelle

Issues have started occurring again. I have had 10 disconnections in the past 3 hours. As a person working from home, this is not acceptable. I am using mobile data to post this. I am not sure how many more cases should be raised. I assume there is no permanent fix for it. We are hoping the issue just resolves itself, but in this case it's not happening.
