Same here.
Switch my modem and everything else off, every night.
I'd rather risk waiting a minute to get an Internet connection than a house fire.
Been doing this since I first got cable with both the old Motorola and newer Ambit modems, and never had to wait longer than booting an XP loaded PC to get online.

It's no wonder that people don't have confidence in Virgin's customer services, considering some of the mumbo-jumbo they come out with.
