Internet Randomly Disconnects

I just moved into a new house and the internet is split 6 ways. Goes into a 5 port router, then into a 4 port switch. The problem is, the internet will randomly disconnect me very breifly.. I only notice it because ICQ and MSN keep going offline and I have to reconnect to them. This happens for everyone in the house.

I'm at a total loss for explanation except maybe a problem with the ISP itself? Or just my house?

Any ideas?

Probably ISP... since Comcast took over, I've been getting disconnects too.

Continuously up? Because mine just seems to disconnect for about 20 seconds... not long enough for me to even show a connection loss to AIM\YIM\MSN.

I can't see how anyone can say this, comcast charges double what verizon charges! They're the only providers in my part of the city though, so I have to stay with dialup (instead of 60 a month for comcast).
