The Internet part is strange. However, if what you're seeing is a brief Internet blip on Wi-Fi only, it might be related to the SonosNet for your speaker system going up and down. The Verizon router might be seeing SonosNet as signal interference and changing the wireless channel as the speakers restart from their software update. The best way to solve this is to disable automatic channel selection on the Fios router, and select the channels manually. For 2.4Ghz, channels 1, 6, and 11 are recommended. For 5Ghz, channels 36-48, 149-161 are good choices, with the channels from 52 - 144 being ideal only if all of your devices support them. SonosNet is used between Sonos speakers in order to synchronize all speakers together, and in a way it acts like a mesh network, providing each speaker with network access through the primary speaker.
For the TV, my first guess there would be HDMI CEC if your speakers are connected to the TV using HDMI. HDMI CEC can issue commands to tell devices on the other end of the cable to power off, change inputs, change volume, etc.
