Are you on comcast?  I am visiting friends with comcast, and the same 
thing is happening to me (and doesn't normally).  Have you tried going 
somewhere that uses a different internet provider, to see if it is 
provider specific?  In my case, their cheapo home router could be the 
problem also.  Did you check if your router rebooted?  However, by 
"Internet connection stop", do you mean the wireless connection?  Or do 
you have a wired connection?   If your wireless chipset (or driver) does 
not support hardware acceleration for encryption, then the software 
support in wpa_supplicant is buggy.  Version 2.0 is much better, but 
still loses encrypted connections with sustained throughput.   You know 
it is wpa_supplicant if killing it (as root) shortly after your internet 
connection "stops", makes it come back immediately (as NetworkManager 
reloads wpa_supplicant).
