I have simular issues on Virgin Cable.
I've never managed to pinpoint the problem!
Sometimes, I loose access to the eUKhost network for a short period of time. I don't get an instant 404, - the browser has a "timeout" effect, so it takes a while before the browser returns an error that it can't access the
website hosting.
The way I resolve it is by pulling out my LAN cable for 2 minutes, and flushing the DNS cache.
The outages often occur when uploading to FTP - but whenever it does happen, I'm still able to access the network from other computers within the office - strange?
When it does go down however, the server can still respond to ICMP (ping) requests, and a traceroute can occur without errors.

When I loose access, it's not just my
dedicated server, it's the entire eUKhost network.
