While this can be different for everyone, the most common reasons are:

1. Internal Networking Equipment

Try restarting both your modem and router by unplugging the power cable and plugging it back in; a power cycle like this clears out any cached connections and resolves a number of potential configuration issues that might be plaguing your modem or router.

In some cases, the connection from your computer to your router can be the cause of this issue. To confirm this as the problem, plug your computer directly in to the modem, without the use of the router. If you have a combined modem/router, ensure you're connected by a quality CAT5e or CAT6 cable and disconnect other computers, just in case they are interfering. You can plug them back in later once you've confirmed the problem.

2. Interfering Software

You have software running (often without knowing) that is using enough of your upstream bandwidth to interfere or is maxing out your routers total connections. This could be a more obvious peer-to-peer program like Bittorrent or FrostWire/LimeWire, or a less obvious one like Steam or Skype. To fix this you will need to completely shut off any such software. Use the MSCONFIG utility to disable them from starting up, then restart your computer. If you have other computers on your network, turn them all off just in case the problem is on one of those machines instead. After you've confirmed the issue has been resolved, you can then power them back on one-by-one to find out which one is causing the problem

3. Internet Congestion or Line Problems

Often the problem can be caused by periodic interruptions due to poor signal quality in the lines from your modem to your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is the cause of the problem much of the time someone is experiencing lag or disconnects. Check to be sure you can upload at full bandwidth consistently using other software like FTP or any file sharing website. If your ISP has a speed test, keep running it repeatedly and see if the current speed indicator is fluctuating while uploading. To test the connection using a 3rd party source, run a speedtest on speedtest.net  and check to be sure you're getting your full bandwidth as promised by your Internet Service Provider. If you're not, contact them with the results and request to have the problem repaired.

4. Limited Upload/Upstream Bandwidth

Although many high speed internet connections offer fast download speeds, the upload speeds can be heavily limited. If your internet connection's upload speed maxes out at 128kbps and you're streaming at 128kbps, there may not be enough wiggle room to stream smoothly. In this case, you will need to lower your streaming bitrate until it falls well within your total upstream bandwidth capabilities, or you will need to upgrade your Internet plan with your ISP to a faster upstream connection.
