It is in bridged mode. I have it
connected to a netgear router. The problem I described happens
whether or not I use the router. I plugged the modem directly
into both computers one at a time and still the problem persists.

an integrated router in the modem? They tend to suck - might be
exhausting connection limits or something (bittorents?). I'd say
set the modem to "bridge" if so and use/try a 3rd party router.
Another thing is it sounds like you're triggering something like a
policer that at a high mark "penalizes" you and reduces your cir
temporarily. Network Quality of Service boxes like Sandvine
deep-packet inspection (dpi) appliances were known to do this as a
policy (abuse), and most isp's have and/or use something like
them. This is almost defacto in 3g/4g cell networks.
No one will flat out admit to it really in a non-cell network that
"unlimited" bandwidth is advertised and perceived, but even Cox
had them installed and ready to turn on until the backlash against
Comcast for using Sandvine's stopped them.

My guess is your DSL modem is rebooting;
how old is it?
