I have never understood why people leave computer equipment off when they are not using it.
ALL of my equipment gets powered off when I'm nor using it, and not only over night... I popped out earlier for a couple of hours, I turned it all off then.
From what I remember from many years ago, the only valid reason to leave a computer on was wear & tear on the hard disk, but I'm talking like 10-15 years ago when everyone was jealous if you had a 10MB hard disk.
They used to take ages (relative to today) to spin up (& down) to operating speed.
I can't see it doing any harm at all to switch your modem off, mine has been constantly on & off for the past year or so.
