Are you having the issue /only/ over wireless only as far as you know? And if so, are more than one wireless devices experiencing this problem? I have a lot of bad experience with Laptop Wifi cards being flakey. Some, flakey enough that continued use of Wifi for more than a day will cause a hardware lockup of my laptop. I'd probably tempt setting up an instance of MTR to do a continued ping test to either the DSL router or to the ISPs first hop and see if it shows any interesting packet drops.
