I had the same issue whilst using a friends PC on BT Internet.  It turned  
out hte rotuer was dropping the connection every few minutes whether I was  
using it on not.  If I set a ping going it would go for 2-5 minutes and  
then start losing packets before coming back some 30 seconds later.

The owner of the PC hadn't noticed as when browsing pages would eventually  
come back and she just thought it was a slow server the other end!

Try pinging the site you are connecting to and see if you lose any packets.
