Milan, I agree with you that it is a little repetitive, and while I wouldn't call it grammatically wrong, changing the sentence to "The network connection has been interrupted" as you suggest might make it sound more professional and just better. Anyway, I'm just a lowly high school student, and I'm not a developer either. I just thought I'd support your idea.
