Bingo.
This happened to us in Talpiot. Bezeq upgraded the lines without telling
us that the old D-Link wouldn't work so well. I replaced it with an Edimax
DSL/Wifi router and that solved the problem instantly.
Of course, everyone denied the story, the ISP (BBL) and Bezeq.

I use Bezeq for my infrastructure and Bezeq Beinleumi for my ISP.
Every hour or two my internet connection is disconnected. It will
remain so until I unplug the modem and plug it back in. Connected to
the modem is a D-Link DIR-320 router, which connects my Ubuntu machine
via cable and various other devices (laptop, Nook, Android phone) via
wireless.
If your infrastructure was upgraded from an aDSL-2 to vDSL/aDSL-2 combination
units, you need to upgrade your modem. You can tell, by the maximum speed
BEZEQ can offer you. If it is 15m or less it is aDSL-2, if it is more, than
the hardware was upgraded.
The problem is the upgraded hardware does not do aDSL-2 very well, and you
should upgrade to vDSL.
BEZEQ does not tell people this when they make the upgrade.
While you are at it, you should upgrade your router. It's going to have all
sorts of problems running out of space for routing tables, and very likely
does not reset NAT tables when the line drops.
I have had really good results with a D-Link 6740vn router from BEZQ which
has an integrated vDSL modem.
It's nice because you can log into the router and check the speed and quality
of the DSL connection. You can even run BERT (bit error rate) tests "on the
fly".
Note that almost no one in Israel had an aDSL connection to their central
office. BEZEQ quietly replaced every line they could, and are still working
on the rest with fiber optic connections. Each connection is 100mBit and gets
split "at the corner" to DSL lines.
So your actual DSL connection is a most a few hundred meters, and often a lot
less.
