I found with Time Warner that their DNS was just bad. Of course the network guys don't talk to the server guys, so there is no indication - it just doesn't work. You can still use internet without DNS, so I just set all the computers to some public DNS servers I knew were local. Nowadays I'd just use Google: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 Next time you have the problem, open a command prompt and issue ping 8.8.8.8 If you are getting replies we'll tell you how to set up DNS. Otherwise, you are having cable/network problems, not DNS, and you should set up a monitor to quantify what the problem is.
