First things first, what kind of connection do you have?

Hmm... do you use dial-up? Dial-up service connects through the phoneline, therefore if someone were to call, it could mess with your connection.

Hehe I had the same problem too! Well I never figured out how to solve it though, my only guess is that the phone is interrupting the wireless signal to your 360. Either get a new phone or just plug it out. 
Thats just what I think but right now I'm grounded from video games.

You must be using dial-up for this to be happening, for DSL or Cable connections do not mess with the phonelines. Dial-up actually uses your phonelines to dial the service provider. Basically, when you are on the internet with dial-up, you're on the phone
If you don't have dial-up, then you must have some weird coincidental issues O.O

Phone calls will also interfere with DSL if you're using DSL.
I suggest calling your phone and/or internet provider - if they aren't the same. Also get the DSL and Phone line filters... that will cut down on interference and disruption.

Ok, so you have dial-up.
There isn't anything you can do to fix this, as there is nothing to fix.
Dial-up uses your phone line to connect to the Interbutts, so if you're surfing the webs, and someone calls, its like a head on collision. The call doesn't come through, and you disconnect from the Internet.
The only way to remedy this is to get cable/DSL.

Get a filter to get rid of the problem, or get DSL from a provider which is so freakin fast, a phone call wont interfere. Or get cable internet from the cable company/broadband company. Much faster and hooks to the cable line, phone calls wont even bother you or lag you.
