I have been running a TD-W8960N_V3, Have been running it flawlessly since 2013, But since the last couple of months, the thing has been acting up, I am with telecom/spark which has never been a great service provider, specially the region I am in(semi rural). I think its the modem though, its dropping every few mins and sometimes connection remains while dropping under a lot of downloading load.

Any solutions or what would be a positive upgrade?

Modems do die sometimes, if you think its the modem.... have you considered buying/borrowing/begging another modem to confirm that is the case?

Are you downloading torrents? As some cheap modems crash due to the NAT routing tables getting too big and causing some sort of buffer / stack overflow. Try updating the firmware.

I haven't been able to borrow another modem or try another one, I have tried updating the firmware but it didn't exactly help.

Usually after a reset I often keep getting this message "IP Address Conflict" Another computer has the same ip address as your one. I wonder if that causes this? I only a second computer also Running Windows 7.
