SSH timesout if no data is being passed to me

My new ISP swears there is not a problem on their end. However I recently made a move to a new state, Florida, and had to change my ISP to Adelphia.

The problem I have now is that I can connect to sshd fine but I cannot let the terminal session sit there for more than say, one minute.

I have to do verbose options on simple commands like rm like rm -Rfv just so I have a constant stream of data coming in from the server so that I am not disconnected.

I can run top as a bandaid to maintain my shell so I do not have to login every 2 seconds, but that will not run for more than an hour or 2.

So it boils down to Linux, where "no news is good news" leading to problems with my connection dropping, often there is no verbose option. Simple things like du -sh * I cannot complete.

Anyone had a similar problem with this?
