internet connection drops when viewing myspace

    At first I thought it was just my computer, but it seems as though it happens on the other computers on my home network as well.

    Sometimes when viewing myspace our internet connection will just... drop.

    We are using DSL. Sometimes the connection to the internet(not to the router or modem) will drop and come back in a few seconds to a minute, and sometimes the connection will completely drop and the DSL light will go out and I'll have to cycle the modem to get it to reconnect.

    It seems to only happen on myspace, but you know how myspace is with it's poorly coded pages and tons of images.

    Any ideas? Just the fact that I use DSL? Seems like if that were the case, it would just be slow to load, but not drop the DSL connection completely. Maybe some sort of restriction by the ISP?

    Also, before, it used to only happen in IE, but not Firefox. Now it seems to happen in both.
