Some ISP's have inactivity monitor that will disconnect you are a specified period of inactivity.
This is really not prevalent with todays high speed DSL and Broadband connections. However when the primary form of connection was dial-up, ISP's disconnected inactive sessions to reduce the needs for expensive connection points, by freeing apparently unused connections for use by other users.
Even today in some of the high speed connections if you read the terms closely you will see that they reserve the right to disconnect inactive sessions, this is to free up a connection point and bandwidth for others to use. It is just not economically feasible to maintain a connection point for each subscriber, when only a certain percentage of users are connected at any given time.
If you want to experiment try connecting on Christmas afternoon when nobody is working and all those "new" computer are connecting. Talk about slow connections and if you are in contention for limited connections you might even see a service outage.

If you are with a smaller company with small regional servers you are probably dealing and overloaded system not designed to habdle as many useres as what it has.
