I've been using my raspberry pi over SSH for quite some time now, and still one of the most annoying things that I couldn't fix is that everytime a certain amount of text is displayed, the connection will freeze and I have to disconnect myself.

Most of the time I use putty, because I work a lot with my windows PC, but the problem also happens with a default session with linux mint, so I guess it's the raspberry's problem.

First of all the problem is seemingly random, sometimes it happens when I call apt-get update or I paste some commands, very often when using nano, but it happens 100% of the time when the shell is filled with programs that use a "GUI shell", most notably the connection freezes everytime I try to open raspi-config.

I have a relatively slow connection with the raspberry, but it is able to handle a VNC connection so it should definetely be fast enough.

    Which type of RPI? And how are you connected to the internet? If it's with wifi via USB this might be helpful: raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/a/31260/37956 – Bram Apr 10 '17 at 17:11

Well, 2 years late, but I've find out that the problem was just the wi-fi connection. It was not only very slow, but it also lost an appreciable amount of packets (from 20% to 30%), so it was enough to use the ethernet connection instead.
