This sounds like bad wiring from the internet side, or noise on the line, which would drop the connection, but not enough to indicate it. Get the line checked to make sure it's a strong, clean signal. Good luck, hope this helps.

Also scan your system for viruses and malware as these can sometimes be a common source of these kinds of problems
