   I am experiencing a similar effect since a few months, often without 
filling even half of the available bandwidth. Like what Sebastian 
suggested earlier, I suspect the horrible quality ISP-supplied 
modem/router. It’s not like the bandwidth is actually used: in fact 
during the interruptions it falls to a negligible level. The situation 
is more about packets being dropped or experiencing extremely large 
processing times (hundreds to thousands msecs).

   If your situation is similar and you do not need the router function, 
does switching to bridge mode help in any way?
