It is indeed crappy copper local loop circuits (lines) that get "dirty", and drop the DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) connection.
Phone companies suck, and getting them to replace a bad local loop cable would require weeks of escalating through the LEC (local exchange carrier), and many hours of your time.
They may move your line to a different pair in the same cable, and that may or may not work.
