The same question could apply to any ADSL hub.

I have a BT Homehub; I leave it switched on. There might be a few watts to be saved by turning it off at night, but I like to be able to check mail first thing in the morning without waiting for the hub to boot up first. Sometimes I browse the web a bit before going to bed, and if there are app updates for the iPad I always set those downloading just before I go to sleep.

"Always on" was one of the selling points of broadband when it first came out, after all.
