I remember that I went through a DSL modem every year due to bad lines in my area.
I had a static IP and it would just drop connection randomly when the modem was going bad. If I had a non-static IP it would have done what you're experiencing.
Your modem might be ready for replacement.
If you complain enough they'll RMA a new one to you/them.

I think there is a 'keep alive' option in the settings on the 2wire modem (I had an actiontec modem).
If not have the box you're sshing into ping google every minute or two (ping -c 20 google.com) via a cron job.
