Poll: How Often Do You Turn Off the Power to Your Internet Connection?
I feel that this is a huge waste of electricity, hence a cause of pollution. I turn my router and DSL box off every night before I go to bed; I don't need it on at night, and it would be a waste of money to leave it on.Define huge waste. It's not a waste, if it provides always available service. Have you performed a cost-benefit analysis between cycling on and off versus leaving on or is this just a feel-good comment? BTW, feeling and knowing are two different things.

Well, I live in France, and one of the consumer mags did a story this month about how much electricity routers use. Many of them - the ones provided by ISPs to give ADSL, phone and TV - use as much electricity as a refrigerator. That's not a huge waste? Regardless of the cost, the pollution alone, multiplied by the millions of people who leave them on, is, in my opinion, a huge waste.
