So when it happens, have you attempted to run trace routes?

One approach I've used to catch intermittent problems like that is to do
a trace (to www.google.com or some other public site) and identify the
IP address of the nearest 3 or 4 hops. Whatever takes you to the first
backbone router. Then I setup a ping command for each IP, logging to a
file, and using appropriate options so the ping rate is low enough not
to bother anyone.

(Technically, I don't use the ping command, but a Perl module for
sending ICMP and UDP packets and a custom connectivity monitoring
script, but the principle is the same.)
