I'm on FTTC here (stopped using cable modems 15 years ago), and suffer frequent dropouts. Resetting the modem and router (they're separate boxes in this context) does help after each dropout.
I don't know whether to blame the obsession with home renovations here, or a deliberate push to get us to upgrade to fibre (which presents its own problems), or whether the state of the copper wires have degraded that much in the last couple of years (they were fine for the first 3-4 years we've been on FTTC).
