I know one of my old isps when I used to have a shell account rebooted sometimes, sometimes it'd vary from when they did it, but when I'd use "w" to see what time it was, I'd notice now and then that the uptime reset. I'm thinking they probably reboot when they upgrade or install new programs just to make certain that it will start automatically.
