My ISP (TalkTalk) sent me an email saying how they were improving their already super-wonderful service. The usual stuff. One bit caught my eye:
"For the best service from your router turn it on and leave on. Switching routers off at night or when you're out of the house will slow down the service you get when you turn them back on."
Is that true to any significant extent? It sounds unlikely to me, but I don't know enough to have an informed opinion. Maybe 30s for the router to set up when turned on, yes, but a slower service afterwards? Why would that be true?
