Internet connection dropping

Getting a new router won't necessarily fix your problem, given that you gave said you had the same problem with both the Sky router and the BT hub so that would tend to rule out the router being the source of the problem, but it's your money so if you think it will help get one. It shouldn't make things worse.

Did the first sentance of my post suggest keeping the SH2? Context matters.

No it did not, where as the OP stated he was, therefore your post about not being able to use DV is not relevant to him unless you were just posting "random information"  about 3rd party routers and DV.

@gg30340  Come on now, you admit I was advocating using a third party router rather than the SH2 in my reply to the OP.

We have both been on this forum long enough to know that other (perhaps new) users jump on a thread to say say "the same as me ".

Are they not worthy of the "Random Information" that DV will not work with a third party router?

Would you prefer I didn't mention  it and someone droped in, thought it could be a solution and came back and said DV wouldn't work? I wouldn't.

I was pointing it out per chance that the OP, and having  " been on this forum long enough to know that other (perhaps new) users jump on a thread to say say "the same as me ". would have thought that he would not be able to use DV because you had stated that he could not when using a 3rd party router, when in fact as you are no doubt aware, he could given what he had said about using it after the SH2.

As this is going nowhere I'll leave it now.
