You need to call your phone company. Sounds like their is resistance on your DSL line. Thats why a simple power cycle will work. You will need to call your phone company and open a ticket. They will try to troubleshoot over the phone with you, but what you need is a technican to come out to do a feed test on your phone line.

Also sometimes with DSL, the physical distance from your home to the telephone CO can be too far. DSL has a 3 mile limit from the CO. The further away it is, the weaker the signal. You might be set for a higher speed DSL service, but the distance limits might be too far. If the technican says the line is fine, you can get a lower dsl speed rate and that might affect it.

Lastly, you might have a crappy dsl router from the phone company. You should consider requesting them to replace it.
