Since that time, I have experienced frequent dropped connections--while I'm surfing the internet, the connection will be cut off out of the blue.  There is no rhyme or reason as to when the connection is dropped.  It can happen during a download, or when the connection is idle.  It can happen at peak usage times and during the low usage times.

I believe the classic advice for this kind of problem is to "tweak your MTU". See

for details and other advice. I've found it to be very useful in the past.

Hope this helps,
