Broadband Dropping Out

My wifi connection keeps dropping out with Sky. When I run a status check through sky.com it states everything is fine with the line and area. If I speak to customers services about it - they just check the speed. This is despite me agreeing there are no issues with the speed, when working. It's the reliability of connection that's the issue! 

After restarting the router the connection comes back but after a couple of hours the issue happens again.

When the connection drops the internet light switches off and the voice light changes to orange.  

As seen in other discussions below are my router statistics: 

System Up Time: 132:54:41

Its the speed that gets the engineer out

 

Connection Speed 35000 kbps 14998 kbps Line Attenuation D1(14.1 dB) , D2(30.7 dB) , D3(45.6 dB) U0(4.9 dB) , U1(22.8 dB) , U2(34.0 dB) Noise Margin 10.1 dB 12.7 dB

 

So from that both download and upload speeds could be better. So theres a line fault somewhere . Any ideas what speed you where told to expect
