This is very, very, VERY interesting to me. We have been battling small lag spikes on our server and clients timing out in bunches. Just yesterday everyone on our server timed out all at once. I submitted a ticket to support who said there was absolutely nothing wrong with the network. Nothing on the system points to a specific problem. We have also had players reporting the connection loss error randomly appearing in the upper right. I'm not sure if this would help matters or not but could you provide your provider and system specs/OS?
