Fuck knows, this happens to me at time's aswell, has cleared up recently. My most recent problem being my internet/live lagging when the phone rings, but I have filters on every line.

I had this about a year or so ago on wireless and couldn't work out for the life of me what was going on. Wired connections seemed fine and the games consoles were connecting through no problem.

 

In the end, someone suggested it was a wirless channel conflict and that others in my street with the same ISP as me were probably connecting via wireless on the same channel (it's set to auto assign by default). I moved mine out to a static non standard (channel 6) I think and it's not given me an ounce of trouble since.

Firewall's probably blocking your browser.
