You need to find the problem first, not a workaround. Then you can decide how to react correctly. If you can help us isolate the problem, we may be able to fix it, assuming (which is unlikely) that it's a FreeBSD fault. I had a problem like this with Australia's Telstra "Big Pond" service. It's broken, but the tech support people didn't even understand enough to go to look for it. The solution was obvious, and it worked: get another ISP.
