upgrade your 2400 baud modem
Make sure your phone is seated properly in the acoustic coupler:

Could be a lot of things. Our connection with UVerse was dropping about every hour at the end of summer. They sent a tech out and the line outside (from the pole to our house) was hanging VERY low and had snagged on something. They tightened it up and/or ran a new one and it has been perfect since.
Good luck!

Mine does something similar randomly throughout the day. I believe it's a DNS issue, though. Sites I'm currently on and connections I have open still work, but if I try to load a new site or a new connection of some sort (game/streaming/etc), it won't load. Then randomly about 20 seconds later it will work.

Could you even get 2400 baud with those things? I thought the upper limit was 300 baud?

with cable its more and likely a bad line some place even a corroded connection can cause cable internet to have issues.
i had a similar issue with att dsl, turns out they had to rebuild me a new routing profile or something.

True, but I didn't feel the joke needed that level of detail. I had personal experience with the ones capable of 110-150 baud. I worked for a company that re-manufactured Teletype equipment, and also had a sister company that provided consumer credit reporting terminals. The high-speed paper tape punch machines couldn't print much faster than 110 baud, so there was no need for a coupler faster than that. We used to sell paper tape punch machines as late as the early 1990's, mostly to the government for cryptographic use, since in the event of an EMP during a nuclear war, you could recover the coded keys from punch tape using a hand-cranked mechanical reader. We would also sell tuning forks used to calibrate the speed of the puncher/reader machines.

navy was still using paper tape codes on some of the old legacy crypto gear when I was active duty.

Wasn't trying to rain on your parade. 
I remembered my (very limited) experience with one of those couplers and it was back in my C64 (pre-300 baud) days. I think my older brother got his hands on one and we tried it out. He purchased a cartridge based 300 baud one after that and it was a much better experience, though it still felt slow back then.

I havent tried running it without the router for a long period (that would mean single-tasking the net which would be a pain -- plus that changes your net address and could make them think you are a hacker or something in a game and ban your account)
Where did you get those ideas from?

a lot of cable companies are upgrading their systems to Docsis 3.0. which is faster than the D2. but a lot of older modems can't handle the Docsis 3.0 system and will reboot after a time, then come back up.
I started having this issue a few months back and did some Google fu to find this out. Went to the internet and found a D3 modem and then I stopped having issues.
