Looks like I was a little too fast. The problem still persists, although it's not as bad as before. The connection still drops out frequently, but comes back after around 30-60 seconds. I'm not sure what is causing this, but it's definitively one of the most annoying problems I've had with Ubuntu so far and, as sad as it is, but I might ditch it for this reason. A computer without a stable Internet connection is only half as interesting.
