One way to confirm it is to keep a browser window on your PC open on the uptime stats/technical-status pages of your dsl router. (for example, open http://192.168.X.Y/ where that's the default route (router address) of your DSL/wireless-router box). You may also be able to see a carrier/SYN light turn off and on again. In which case, it's the ISP end that is dumping you.
Maddening. My mom has the same problem. My sister also, who has Primus.ca. Drat, I say, drat them to heck.
