I get this error on my ISP.  I have found they are inspecting the
internet packets and terminating if there is too little back-and-forth
traffic.  My ISP is a mobile phone network over 3G so they are probably
trying to keep the bandwidth for phones only.

I do "-o ServerAliveInterval=5" which has my ssh client ping the server
every 5 seconds to keep it alive.

To summarise, I get rid of broken pipe errors by using this command line

ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=5 user@server.com

Hope this helps,
