Re: Modems and Routers left plugged in?
Power usage for a modem and router is insignificant. It would cost you a few pence week to run them. As for them being a fire risk, Ive never heard of a router/modem burning a house down. I agree with the guy who says about turning them on and off stresses them. If they stay at a constant temperature (which the pretty much do when they're on) the components wont be stressed as much. Hot to cold to hot and so on stresses them.
