Internet disconnects frequently?

Have you contacted the ISP as in 1999 I had the same problem with Dial up I was always redialing to connect to the internet I found out TELSTRA sent a pulse back up the line every twenty minutes and that was enough to knock me off the internet, this was done on purpose to cost me extra money for connection.

when Telstra were doing their dirty work for the government later they were used to spy on Australians while the war in Iraq was in progress.

Is there any silly setting on the router which disconnects the connection after a certain amount of time? Can you borrow another router from a friend to try to narrow down the problem?

With some laptops the connecion software is the issue try a connection manager like att and tmobile thy will keep you connection alive and recnnect automatically and you will not notice the lags and drops in between.....
