Could be your router desynchronizing from the exchange. Log in to your router, and when it drops see if your Downstream and Upstream values are 0 or if your ADSL state is disconnected.
 
Also, give Telkom a tinkle and ask the dude to re-sync your line...mine did this a few times and that sorted it right out...
 
didnt get hold of telkom today, iv noticed once connection dies out, the computer does not allow me to the router.this realy had to happen durin mweb free trial.

I also had issues with that, actually all these telkom things are crap. If its under warranty, get it swopped out, say it got hit by lightening or something. Or do what i did, i said i was an accountant and dont know these computer things, and when i wanted to use the internet the modem was flashing all different lights at once, and it wouldnt connect (sound stupid) and they will replace it, thou you need to log a fault for the router itself to telkom and get the ref number.
