By any chance do you live in the flight path of one of the airports?  
Somewhere around 1/3 of the traffic coming into Heathrow seems to knock 
my wireless for a loop, and TCP connections therefore drop.  There is a 
quite clear connection between the plane passing overhead and the 
connection dropping, with the drop happening just slightly before the 
plane passes overhead.  (Forward pointing radar?)  It seems to happen 
more often in morning and evening, but that could just be my usage pattern.

I've seen this with two access points (DLink 802.11g and a Vigor 2200 
802.11b), and two laptops (Sony Vaio & IBM Thinkpad).
