Definitely check your modem and monitor the stats to see how much they fluctuate during the bad times. It's probably a wet cable pair, and knocking your noise margins down to the point your modem drops the connection.

Do you have a home run with a splitter in your new NID?
Yes I have about 6 ft of cat5 for my home run with a splitter in the NID. Here are my current stats as I have the router removed.

DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 12538 894
Margin (dB) 10.0 10.0
Line Attenuation (dB) 38.5 20.0
Transmit Power (dBm) 22.6 12.2

I will have to take a drive in the morning to look for open/damaged "boxes". I have seen several that my line doesn't run through that are either open or have been destroyed and just have a plastic bag over them for several months now.

 Levels look decent right now. Is that about where they normally are?

That black plastic stuff is called slicker cloth. There's an old saying that goes "Vinyl is final, but slicker is quicker." And unfortunately, slicker sometimes ends up being pretty permanent in some areas!
