Sounds like a dodgy phone aerial to be honest with you.
If you want a corded phone, ask on your local Freegle or Freecycle (everything is free on there). You can even pick up some nice DECT phones - they usually come up a couple of times a week.
If you're anywhere near Wellingborough, I've got an old corded phone you can have if you need it.

Hi,
I'd agree that it sounds like the issue may be more related to the wireless communication between phone and base station than the line itself. When the problem occurs are you moving any nearer to any other electrical devices?

As above - you could also try turning off your router / sky box etc etc - see if it makes a difference. Don't keep turning the router on and off though or you may suffer a restriction in speed.
