Your modem is retraining. That is renegotiating a connect to your ISP at a lower or higher speed dependant on phone line quality. There is virtually nothing you can do about it.
It's just possible your ISP is busy, and every time a few other people try to sign on, it "hangs" for a bit, until they get connected. This comes from too many users sharing the modem pool, and/or too slow/outdated servers.
Either way, the best you could do is find a different ISP (try some of the free ones), and see if the problem persists.
