You can find some more information via my edpnet under Session history.
To get there you browse through the menu via:

Scroll down to XDSL Line info
Here you can see the following information:

If you click on Session history you can see more information about the duration of your last connection(s) including the Terminate causes.
Start Time: When was the session started.
Stop Time: When was the session stopped.
Session Time: The duration of this session.
IP Address: The public IP address that was using during this session.
Callerid: From where the connection was initiated. (FYI: This should always be the same, since your line is always on the same physical location. If it is something else, it can mean that your username/password are being used on another location.)

The following terminate causes can give you an idea where the problem is situated and can help you to troubleshoot your connection.

It means that an ISP Administrator (Proximus or edpnet) reset the DSLAM port or PPP session.
