The most likely cause of dropped connections is noise on the phone line. This could either be on the line coming to your house, or in the house wiring itself.
If it's in the line to the house, it's up to the phone company to fix it. If it's in your house wiring, it's up to you to fix it; the phone company will come out and repair your house wiring but they'll charge you for the service.
The easiest way to tell if the problem is in your house or the phone lines is to run a line from the telco interface outside your home directly to the modem. Open the customer side door on the telco interface. There will be a couple of phone jacks in there. One of them will be connected; this is the line going into your house. Disconnect it (your phones will go dead) and run a long phone extension cord between that jack and your computer. If things improve, the problem is in your house wiring. If they don't, it's in the phone line outside your house.

try setting your modem to auto redial if line is dropped, redial attepts: 8, Time between redial attempts: 1 second.
