I had problems both in the UK and in Italy with unstable connections. In the UK, it was because my ISP provided me with a Speedtouch 330 USB modem (which most seem to do). I didn't think much at the time, but when i wanted to go online with my video games console, i had to buy a router. Instantly, my connection problems were solved and i later found out that it was because the Speedtouch is very sensitive, to minor issues with lines.
Now in Italy, we got given a router, by our old ISP (i presume this is what they keep trying to charge us for, but of course they don't mention it!). Anyway, we kept losing connection here and it turned out to be one of the filters that you plug into the phone socket, to split the phone up, from the ADSL connection. It might be worth buying one from an electrical shop, as they are very cheap and might save you from paying for an engineers visit.
