Check it with an ethernet cable between router and computer instead of wirless. That should help isolate the source of the issue.

Chances are, using wireless you are suffering interference.

I have my p?c connected directly to the router. As well as two pcs wireless and 2 laptops wireless and my xbox 360 to the router.

So yeah

If you think it's wireless interference try changing channels -- bear in mind that different channels may work better or worse in different environments -- so if users are scattered around premises what's good for one user may not be for another.

If you can detect neighbouring wifi networks choose a channel 5 stops from the strongest neighbour -- though that advice conflicts with the above, it demonstrates the complexity of the issue.

Relocate cordless phone base or video sender etc away from router.

The problem is with your ISP.

This usually happens because the ISP's server's are overloaded. A lot of ISP's have this problem lately. They tend to overload their servers before buying new ones, causing the client (YOU) to suffer in the process, also paying for internet service that your not getting.

I'd recommend contacting your ISP and telling them to stop overloading their servers. Also the constant breakup's in the connection your experiencing is also your ISP It could be interference but very rarely is, in most cases its the ISP messing around
