Well, well.... BT openreach man turned up this afternoon and, surprise surprise, found no fault on the line. Even more remarkably, when I reconnected my router, it managed to sync and so I am managing to type this at home. So, given that talktalk already conceded there was no fault with my equipment, it rather goes to prove it was their fault all along.
What's more, the guy told me I only have a 0.5Mbps connection to the exchange! I'm assuming it hasn't always been like that as I think I might have noticed before now - I was never worried enough about my speed before to do a speed test. I don't know what speed you need for decent iplayer performance but it seems to spend a lot of time buffering.....
