What mode are you using your BSNL modem in? Bridge or pppoe?

Check your system log in Ubuntu in /var/log/syslog files and see if you see anything related to networking during the time your connections seems to be lost.

I am using it through Lan, so it maybe pppoe
i used this command to install it pppoeconf
 
there is one problem since 10 days or so..the torrent and download speed does not cross beyond 70Kbps, Before it is 150-220Kbps constant..No matter how good torrents are!!!!!! Is anybody experiencing same problem.Using Ubuntu and deluge torrent client, even tried transmission, Ktorrent but the speed is 70Kbps max..port forwarding and everything is done..what should be the problem??
 
I am using rp-pppoe to connect with ADSL modem. I have installed pppd connection through
Code:
pppoeconf
command.
The problem is sometimes while surfing using Firefox or Opera, i suddenly am not able to connect to any site, the status bar continue to indicate "Looking for ...."message. Funnily, my Deluge is fine and is able to download as well as upload during this error.
