I had something similar when I first signed up to Broadband (I can't remember the error message but my internet connection kept dying .... at irregular intervals) - turned out to be a bad connection at the telephone box. BT (my phone line supplier) kindly changed the (ancient) box with a splitter/filter to one with an in-built splitter/filter - no charge - so I had one socket for telephone and the other for 'puter.... No problems since !
juggs is very much on the right lines for the first thing to try, basically try another filter on the line, the ones supplied by broadband providers tend to be cheap and crap!
do a search for ADSLnation filters and you should be able to buy a decent filter for about 15quid.
also if you modem is plugged into an extension socket and not the master phone socket in the house it may be bad wiring on the extension. If you are able to try it plugged inito the master socket.
if you still get frequent disconnections then you need to talk to your ISP as it's probably a bad phone line!

I rang them up (to report a fault on the line, which effectively was what it was) and as they could hear some crackles on my phone line, they agreed to come and check the line.... the engineer who called around to the house was really helpful and he suggested that it might need a new *box of tricks*. He did warn me that I would then have to use this new box for my pc in the future - I'd not really be able to use any of the other phone sockets for pc's.... well, that was ok with me..
Honestly, I did not flatter my eyelashes or anything like that.. BT were simply great....
