Internet disconnect issues

I've recently had issues with random disconnects from the internet and want to know what program/utility I can run to monitor when and how often this is happening. Is there a way to do this so I can narrow down whether it is certain programs that are causing this or if the phone line itself is at fault. A Bell technician came over and fixed some of the phone lines outside and said the internet should be stable now but I'm still getting DCed. I'm hoping to figure out when and perhaps why this is happening. Thanks.

 

-wired
-er- not sure what you're asking if I wasn't online how could I disconnect?
When I'm online and using the pc I guess

-none, my router redials once the connection is back up and Im online again


-talking to the phone company again, apparently the throughput is low again, they are going to look into some more wiring issues outside and get back to me .. thx for the
