>>If its not detecting the ADSL its simply not there. Its either the router or the line/isp.
The ISP can't do anything to prevent the ADSL sync. It's the router, or the line - which could include local interference, or noisy line outside the house.
If you can borrow a know good modem router then you'll only have to plug it in to see if it syncs. If it does, it's your Netgear that's gone faulty. If it doesn't, it's some variety of line problem.
I had an earlier Netgear that went faulty, intermittently at first which made it difficult to diagnose. It got very hot and I think that stuffed it in the end. The BT bloke suggested I got a Voyager 2110 as they will put up with a very poor S/N ratio. I've had many fewer problems since. Unfortunately they are now obsolete.
It might be worth asking Talk Talk to send you a new router FOC. This worked for a colleague. He did offer to terminate his contract of they didn't.
