Hi folksBeginner's woes again!Sometime back I lost a dialup modem in a lightning strike. Luckily my pc escaped. With the new home plan from BSNL 200Rs/400Mb, it is quite tempting to get a connection. Though i do not download too much, i still fancy a fast connection. My question is, is it compulsory to leave the modem and pc connected together/powered up 24X7. I Remember someone mentioning that if a (broadband ) modem is shut down , it takes a long time to initialise! BTW I have an underground jelly-filled cable with a Junction box from bsnl running right to my doorstep. This carries my regular phone connection. Does bsnl use the same lines for B/B or will they have to install fresh cables? I suppose there are are some spare lines in that box. thanks
