This is probably a stupid question, but I was curious as to if I should I keep my Cable modem on all the time.
My dad doesn't think it to be a problem to turn the modem on and off with the PC. My friend said otherwise. He said that the Roadrunner guy told him to not turn the modem on and off frequently because in doing so, the capacitors would wear down sooner than normal and you would be buying a new modem soon.
If anyone has a reason why it should stay on all the time, can you please send me a link to a site that proves why so my dad will believe me?
Thanks.
