I had a similar problem in 2005 and I used a program called PingPlotter to graphically show periods of downtime, as in time and duration. The next Tech that showed up seemed impressed, but who knows.
I don't think it helped him find and repair the problem, (he did that on his own), but it did seem to help him understand that there was indeed a problem, which is usually the biggest hurdle.
