Does the internet drop out at about the same time every day?

There's a few cases on the net where strange and 'unfixable' drop outs were eventually traced to weird things . . like spurious emissions from faulty TV sets a few houses away, maybe a dodgy central heating timer, that sort of stuff.

If it is dropping at the same time, I'd push for an engineer visit for that time frame (explain why when/if you get through).

Do you have a 3rd party router? If so try taking it out of the loop and see if a direct connection from the Virgin hub stops the drop outs?
