Some ISPs will restrict your internet connection if they see you have been online for more than two hours (this has the effect of terminating your call).

for a call to drop (or be dropped)


Explanation:
The call dropped, or it dropped the call, or the call was dropped.

Lo mismo, literalmente, sobre todo tratándose de celulares.

Claro que las demás opciones son buenas, pero esta es la literal en el contexto mencionado.
